Any machine that is supported by nVidia driver is supported normally.

The problem is to know which ones they are, and effectively, we've seen some problems with Lenovo ones.

I was particularly hoping to pick up on a decent boxing day sale today. Are there any particular laptops you might recommend that support Bumblebee and Optimus? I had particularly liked this machine for its features and price. 

Is there any sort of list available of machines that fully support it? 

Thanks,

Simon

Gary,

I've digged in your tables, have a look at https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/149#issuecomment-3273992

My suggestion is do not buy a lenovo ideapad yet.




Does not work at all with nvidia chip. I have a ideapad y470 but reportedly it does not work even with nouveau drivers with Bumblebee. Since nouveau doesn't even work on a Y470, Lenovo must be doing some really weird stuff internally. Avoid like the plague.

I have not seen anyone have success yet with an ideapad and post about it on the web somewhere. I would be SOOO happy to be proven wrong about this however. :)





Hope that helps. Cheers,

Hello everyone, I was looking at purchasing a Lenovo Ideapad Y570. It appears to have Optimus, with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 1GB. 

My friend has the same card, but on a Dell XPS 17. I wanted to confirm this would work on this Lenovo Model, before purchasing it and attempting to run GNU/Linux with the Optimus technology. Has anyone been able to confirm such findings?
