X1 Carbon gen8/9 would be the ultimate portable device, were it not for the unsupported touchpad…
Everyting else is just working ootb.

Just a clarification: Only a particularly reduced set of Athlons, I would say.
I have never had such issues with Athlon Thunderbird, or with any Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon II or Phenom II (up to AM2+/AM3 sockets).
IIRC, only some “Bulldozer/Piledriver/Steamroller” based chips have that issue.
Edit: just noticed that I replied to a month+ old comment. Hey… was new to me!

I have the same problem with both a Athlon II and a much newer AMD A4.
It has become a lot better over the recent months,but trying to compile bigger projects on multiple cores does still crash it from time to time.
Yes, tested with Beta 5. I will try again with a nightly build and let you know.
The behaviour was all icons ended up lit, but then would hang afterwards and go no further. I did expose the boot messages, and I think it was something to do with Intel Extreme. I tried disabling some of the add-ons and using a default video mode, but could not get anywhere.
You need to use “fail-safe graphics mode” in that case.
My (intended) point being… do not be so quick to dismiss CPUs just because they’re named Athlon, when it is just a small subset of the ones on the LONG, LONG list of CPUs that bear that name that have any issues on Haiku.
Edit: bare → bear.
ubu Are you still around? Did you ever get audio working on those Macs? Does wifi work? I have almost every iMac including a 1998 Bondi blue iMac. Did you ever figure out the audio? Wifi? Anything else that did or didn’t work on the iMacs?
Unfortunatly not, did not have much time for it either, maybe next year 
But afaik there are some supportet USB Sound Cards now, so this might no longer a big problem.
Unfortunatly i destroyed the Display of my iMac when moving, have to look for a new one
