Introduction
The Laptop Testing Team is made up of community members given Canonical-supplied laptops and other community members providing information from their own laptops. We're on a mission to get Ubuntu to work great on as many different makes and models of laptops as possible. To do this, we need to know which hardware works straight off the install CD and which hardware needs configuring or is poorly supported.
Contact
Please use these contact methods to find out more about the Laptop Testing Team. For support, start at http://www.ubuntu.com/support
- IRC - #ubuntu-laptop on Freenode
Mailing list Laptop Testing (this is a low traffic list)
How to Contribute
If you are a community member and wish to help us test, go to LaptopTesting to get started. Please read and add useful Gotchas/FAQs that will help other people or which caught you out to the /FAQ. If you feel silly about writing an entry---remember that you will feel less silly if you do (plus, you'll help other people from feeling silly as well!)
Please note
- If you share a laptop model with anyone, please coordinate with them to provide a single report, unless it has different specifications.
If you are trying to search through the below laptop pages for specific criteria (for example, if you want to confirm how widely a certain feature is supported, or if you're looking for a laptop that does X), you may be able to make use of the following python script that scrapes data from these pages and dumps it into a database: LaptopTestingDataScraper
Projects
- Currently testing Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy: LTS), 9.04 (Jaunty), 9.10 (Karmic: current stable), and 10.04 (Lucid: Alpha 2). Mark with the words "Hardy", "Jaunty", "Karmic" or/and "Lucid Alpha" in the release tested column.
- Fill in Contact column with a wiki page and put some contact details on that page

Community Supplied Laptop Tests
Manufacturer Sub Pages
Laptops from these manufacturers have a larger number of testing reports, and separate pages.
Laptop tests for supported versions of Ubuntu
Add new reports in numeric and then alphabetic order. Please write the model exactly as it written on the machine. To make new pages use a name like Make_Model with the underscore so search engines can separate the words and your report will be easier for people to find.
