I just picked up an inexpensive Lenovo IdeaPad N22 from their outlet
store and found that it runs OpenBSD quite nicely. It cost me $185
delivered to my door. I picked up another inexpensive Lenovo system last
year and it was a terrible experience. This is a Braswell based system
with a Celeron N3050 paired with 4GB of memory and 32GB of eMMC storage.
I finally figured out that the BIOS is accessible via F2. I disabled
Secure Boot and then did the install with a USB stick that I manually
setup for UEFI booting and the install sets. I also configured
softraid(4) crypto while I was at it. I used a USB Ethernet adapter to
install the required firmware for iwm(4) to function and it also pulled
in uvideo(4) firmware as well. Since there is no inteldrm(4) support at
this point, I am using wsfb(4) which works along with efifb(4) for Xorg.
My dmesg is below along with my xorg.conf and the modified auto
partition layout I went with. I did see a few fatal firmware errors from
iwm(4) but it seems to work fine after those errors.
There is a slightly nicer model that includes 128GB of SATA storage and
a slightly updated Celeron N3160 which might be an even better OpenBSD
system since 32GB of storage can be a little tight. Both of these
systems are the Windows 10 Home 64 models, not the Chromebook models. If
someone is looking for a very inexpensive OpenBSD laptop, this is a
pretty decent choice.
