Dual boot Lenovo laptop with Windows XP and Fedora Linux
 

I wanted to buy a new Lenovo laptop and make it dual bootable with Fedora Linux and Windows XP. The models I am interested in are:

1. Lenovo 4152 C5Q
2. Lenovo 4152 C3Q
3. Lenovo 4152 C6Q
4. Lenovo G550-62Q

Did someone earlier tried making any of these models dual bootable, if they own any of these models ?

Suggestions sought on which laptop would be best to make dual bootable with Windows XP and Fedora Linux.

Thanks.

Those are some awfully specific model numbers - usually we're just talking about a T61 or whatever. Note that if you are going to request something like that, you may want to provide links. I can tell you that I, for one, can't be troubled to track down specific info on all that.

That said, you should be fine with whatever you can afford. Intel has been particularly good to the FOSS community, so if you have a choice, go for Centrino whatever, or at least Intel wireless. I have a Thinkpad with an Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M IIRC, which works perfectly with the proprietary driver. Are you concerned about any specific pieces of hardware?

I have lenovo 4152 c2q and I work on redhat 5 through Vmware6.5 ; because in this laptop model it was not possible to work in dual boot (xp and redhat) as it was showing some device driver problem.
Lenovo G430 4152 series , in my knowledge, is not well compatible with most of the Linux Distro's with "Dual boot". Still you can use them with Vmware.
