I’d like to add that I did try forwarding the new info to HCR but it mentioned not all required fields were filled out. Not sure who the maintainer(s) of the configuration repo are, but as feedback, not every checkbox was applicable to the system; in some cases, I couldn’t check one because there wasn’t a right option. For instance, the entry I was importing was a tablet, not a notebook or desktop (the only two options available), amongst other options that would apply more to a desktop or tower than a mobile computer. I didn’t know these were required until I got the error.
For now, I’m going to have to drop the share with HCR option from the form until this can be given consideration… Thanks.
I have no idea who or if that site is maintained at all. Should it ever be, they’ll look into their issue tracker and won’t search for reports in this forum.
The confusing part is that I’m not sure who to credit for this; the contributor listed ‘yes’ for that part of the form. If you recognize this model and would like credit for it, please let me know!
As a separate post, please note that I’ve removed the HCR option from the form for now, due to the reasons I mentioned earlier. So for now, contributions basically go to the Haiku computer list, spreadsheet, here, (and if the contributor opts to share to GitHub, the list on GitHub).
Has anyone tried the Lenovo W550s? I’ve found that’s it’s CPU, screen size, and awesome keyboard makes is a nice and cheap dev box. My only concern is the Nvidia GPU.
I haven’t found this in the search results on the hardware list at GitHub — you’re more than welcome to add this to the list if no one else has yet.
Thanks @Zenja for your contribution as well as to the anonymous contributor of the Toshiba! Every hardware submission helps build the list where people can find where Haiku can work for them, so seriously, thanks!
