I am shopping around for a new laptop and came across Lenovo G50-70/G40-70 on the market which has an option of not having any OS installed. I regularly use Windows, but in the recent years I am seeing Ubuntu being more and more of a better option hence having a clean laptop will mean I can start off with Ubuntu right off the bat. I have used Ubuntu before but that laptop broke down so I did not continue on as my new laptop had Windows pre-installed.

I saw a few threads on one or 2 driver issues, but I guess it is because of the lack of internet connection to properly configure the system hence I doubt that will be an issue on my side as I have an option to work off a wired internet connection (of course, provided that the driver for the lan card is set up right!)

My main concern is the driver compatibility, as I am concerned about losing some of the functions that the laptop provides. Has anyone gotten a completely working system up before?

Thanks for the help in advance!
