Nothing has changed in the ACPI area - powerplug and closed lid are still not detected.

I believe everything seems to work perfectly but there is one thing that considers me which is the wireless problem. I just wanted to ask you about the issues you have encountered with the wireless of this computer if any. Some users mention regular connect/disconnects and some packet drops. Do you have these problems with your system? And finally since I mentioned that I only use Linux on my computers, I have to make sure that the computer I get should be able to run Linux smoothly in order for me to be able to perform my daily tasks on it. Even though I really like the design of this computer, would you still recommend me to pick one of these up?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-39931500926885931002013-01-19T00:56:14.513+01:002013-01-19T00:56:14.513+01:00Hi again Jos I bought a samsung series 9 x3d. it i...Hi again Jos I bought a samsung series 9 x3d. it is perfect but i have some problems when installing opensuse 12.2 on it.

Unlike other ultrabooks, they managed to cram in TWO fans which can run far slower than the competition - far more quiet.<br /><br />It also barely gets warm in daily usage, even under heavy usage it gets warmer but I've never felt it unpleasantly warm.
