Feedback on the Lenovo ThinkPad T440p

Asked by Michal Kvasnicka

Your current information (see http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201307-13930/) are a bit inaccurate.

The BIOS Lenovo GLET21WW (0.21) (Legacy) does not exist or is not available now, see for more details
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t440p/downloads/DS037576

The only functional BIOS with Ubuntu 14,04 is 1.14 (GLET39WW)

Hello Michal,

Thanks for the feedback, this would be helpful for other users.
The BIOS version you see on our certification page is the version we have (and tested) on the system we possess.
We're unable to control the BIOS availability.

Cheers.

OK ... but this is really terrible situation with ThinkPad T440p. Currently available BIOS (2.25) and older (> 1.14) does not work at all with Ubuntu Linux (serious troubles with NVIDIA Optimus graphics card GT730M).

So ... only BIOS 1.14 supports Ubuntu 12.04/14.04!!!!

Can you help with this problem?
