seems lik e a decent unit, n bot a bad price, however every intel chipset
as of late ive tried to get FreeBSD to run X
on has failed miserably, like my Lenovo W540, and an MSI board with built
in graphics. So id be inclined to buy one
if they would actually run FreeBSD, linux and windows... ( i know, sorry
guys) hate to say have always worked fine on them.
