LaptopTestingTeam

Revision 1253 as of 2006-11-21 16:44:05

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 [http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/laptop-testing-team 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
