Hey, Lyndon. I'm using a ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 AMD for OpenBSD and it fits your specs perfectly. The 7.6 release also fixed an audio issue with azalia the platform historically had trouble with. Hope this helps. -Max

I have a Gen 4, and I could not get the following working under OpenBSD 7.5: built-in mic, touchscreen, bluetooth, Discrete Graphics (Nvidia), and HDMI output.

It's time to buy a laptop for OpenBSD. I'm looking for recommendations from people actually running OpenBSD on their laptop. My requirements are pretty light: * X Windows at 1920x1080 resolution (my vision cannot cope with anything higher) * 14 inch screen * *light* *weight* * Functional Wifi
