Hello
*
I maybe will buy a ThinkPad T430 with Nvidia NVS 5400M with Optimus (there is only this model available as a special offer).
*
Does anybody know how well this graphic card will work with Ubuntu 12.04?
*
I also want to replace the HDD with an SSD. Is this easily possible and does it support SATA 3?
*
Regards
*
Lucas

The hard drive in my ThinkPad R61i is held in place by rubber caps that
cover the sides of the drive. I can put an OCZ Vertex drive right into the
slot using the rubber caps. Works great.

My laptop has Intel video, so can't help you there...

There is no Support from Nvidia for Optimus. You would have to use
Bumblebee program to get it working halfway decent.The latest news
says that official support is coming though.
