Compatible laptops with Intel i3, i5, i7 processors?

Hi all,

I looked at the BeSly compatibilty list for laptops that are compatible with Haiku GCC2 x86 builds (non-64-bit), but wondering if anyone can verify that any i3, i5, or i7 laptops do indeed work with Haiku. I only need ethernet and audio-out working natively. Everything else like webcam, native graphics, microphone audio-in, and WiFi aren’t necessary. Thanks

I’ve had good luck with a Dell Latitude 7490. Trackpad, Audio, WiFi working.

Which release you are using on the Dell 7490? I have tried latest nightly and the trackpad does not work.
Many thanks!

R4. I might of had to boot it UEFI I will have to look.

My Gigabyte Sabre 17 with its 4-core i7 processor is my main Haiku box. Everything but the webcam works.

I apologize. It’s an E7470.

Christech, do you know if the ethernet port worked in your E7470 ? I wouldn’t be using WiFi for my particular application, just ethernet.

I will test it out. WiFi works for sure.

EDIT: Ethernet does work. Identifies as Intel Pro 1000.

No worries. Makes sense that it is a different model, the trackpad on my 7490 refuses to function.

Touchpad, wifi, ethernet and sound all working.
Vesa Graphics only - needed to set that in the boot loader.

I got an external display working on the E7470. Hit the power button and close the lid… external HDMI monitor came up just fine.
