I have a Lenovo G550 which I bought pre-installed (64bit version) from the Linux Emporium in Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham. They are very friendly and helpful. The machine itself has worked flawlessly for the last 13 months. Barry -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
