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.
