With the help of the notebook tests from chaotic now on Besly i have bought a used Notebook that is well supported by Haiku:
ThinkPad X1 Carbon (1st Gen) with Core i 3. Generation, HD Graphics 4000, Ivy Bridge
which is very similar to the also well supported ThinkPad T431s.
Notes:
Multitouch click pad works. But the right mouse click not.
There are separate buttons for left, right and middle click and the Trackpoint available and they work.
Shut down and Restart works
The wireless card works.
It is very quiet even with Haiku.
The following BIOS settings are required:
USB 3 disabled
Secure boot disabled
UEFI/Legacy set to both
Wish list:
Bootman for GPT formatted disks, see discussion on this forum.

That CPU has only 2 cores though. 4 threads. I have nearly the same configuration on Fujitsu Lifebook P772 and Haiku runs perfectly on it. The only thing that bothers me is wifi, as I cannot use ethernet in my current environment. The overall performance is fine, but rdp/vnc experience is not that smooth without ht mode.
@vercu, thanks for the nice report, just a short question: is the audio hardver supported? Have you audio output in the integrated speaker and through the jack? Jack-sensing works?
I can confirm that audio works perfectly on that machine (both through speakers and the audio jack, with the “jack-sensing”, which I believe is an automatic switch of sound output when something is plugged into the jack, working without any issues), but only with OSS drivers. Built-in microphone works too, but I wasn’t able to get anything from line-in even after playing with the mixer.
@extrowerk
the speaker work. When plugging a headset into the audio output they work also. All without OSS driver.
The SSD is visible in Devices and in DriveSetup. See the GPT thread for a screen shot.
Haiku is installed on the SSD. But booted with an USB stick. @Yowane_Haku
Did you manage to boot the hard drive install without an USB stick?
Ah, yeah… It might have been a different generation of that laptop where I tested Haiku. On other laptops with the same chipset it still required OSS in order for HDA to work though. As for booting, it worked fine on all machines I tested with bootman installed. My Haiku is installed on an SSD as well. I had problems with booting it live from flash drive on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Si 1520, but so far bootman has been doing a great job for booting Haiku on relatively old laptops. I have never tried a GPT boot though. I still prefer MBR for everything ＞＿＜
