Some of us have the impression that "Linux doesn't work well on laptops", specifically when it comes to suspend/resume and power consumption.
Under that impression, you have to find on eBay one particular ThinkPad manufactured in 2005, and spend a day tweaking things. Then it will work. Usually.
That impression was accurate, not too many years ago. It looks like it's not anymore?
It seems to me that this update is a great way to change that old impression. If only because "X works faster" is a way to reinforce that "X works at all".
p.s. To clarify, I'm talking about perception/impression not reality. Changing how people think.
