Adding Linux Mint To My Windows 7 Laptop

I have bought 4 of these now over the past 2 years to back up my files. They work super easily on windows 7 and Linux mint. I have had no failures or corrupted data so far. They are very lightweight and thin.

Worked great for old monitor that didn't have HDMI input. Windows and Linux Mint compatible.

Great laptop for the price. It does everything that I want it to do and it is reasonably fast too. You can't beat the price and B&H support is second to none. I set up a Linux Mint dual boot right out of the box and it worked great. Be aware - no USB C. The power button is on the keyboard so the the cover has to be opened to power on in an external monitor setup.

older toshiba satellite laptop running linux mint to 32" 1080p monitor. �had to turn off laptop display and then it performs as advertised. �very nice and a bargain price.

Works as described both on Windows and Linux.

I bought this for my linux mint pc. It was as easy to get working as plugging it in.

I work with two Kubuntu 12.04 Linux workstations continuously connected, and a Windows 7 employer's Lenovo 530 laptop that I connect every evening on returning home and disconnect every morning when heading to work (via a Lenovo docking station continuously connected). My monitors are dual Dell 3007 2560x1600 dual-link DVI, keyboard Avant Stellar (PCI connector via USB adapter), with a Microsoft wireless mouse. When using the laptop, I can use its screen in addition to the two Dells. I can switch among these seamlessly. I even have the less-used Linux workstation normally sleeping, as it wakes up properly as soon as I select it. A nice touch is that one Dual-Link DVI cable of each pair has the USB and audio cables integrated into it, keeping the wiring rat's nest manageable. The only annoyance is that, inevitably, because the external monitor configuration for the Windows 7 Lenovo 530 at the office differs, I need to reposition some windows when moving between home and office. But once I got the Windows configuration set up properly, the laptop at least automatically recognizes which monitor configuration it's connected to. (Because the DVI outputs of the Lenovo docking station are single-link, it's necessary to use its HDMI outputs and interpose Accel HDMI to Dual DVI converters between it and the MiniView.)

Bluetooth pairs well with Windows or Linux on my laptop, and the USB adapter provides reliable fallback. The mouse fits my large hands, feels solid, and responds smoothly.

Bought a second to use with the laptop. Works on everything I've plugged it into - linux, windows, etc. Makes cad work much easier, easier on the wrist for me, and works where you don't have a reliable surface for a mouse. On my HP laptop, I can intermix touchpad, this trackball, and touch screen all at the same time...very cool.

SN750 or SN850 will do you well. I installed this as the primary OS drive on my laptop. I run Windows and Linux on it no problem. It is quick, and doesn't seem to overheat even in the small space. I like that it comes with TLC memory, so it should last. Comes with a good warranty.
