I noticed that the newer high end Lenovos use an Intel 5300 chipset,
is this supported by Genmac already ?

If not, I guess I can always run eCS in a virtual machine,
but native would be nice too.

I plan to use the system for cross-platform QT4 development,
with at least Windows, eCS and Linux as target platforms.

It's probably worth seeing if the WiFi card (most likely a Mini PCIe card) can be removed (or the laptop supplied without it bit still with the antennas installed) - and then go buy a Genmac supported card such as the Intel 2200BG on eBay.
