Used Laptops tested with LinuxCNC and Mesa Ethernet boards

Ah, so there's hope.
I am looking at T450/460/470 with touchscreen as I am planning on putting this on a small lathe with ProbeBasic. Perhaps, the screen will be too small but it should be fine to get me started and I do need a laptop PC for other stuff once in a while. 

Another question, maybe not the ideal place for it, but let me give it a shot:)

Found a T470 with a touchscreen, just need seller to confirm a few things before pulling the trigger on it.
[EDIT] Done, I bought it. Will take a few weeks before I get my hands on it though. 

Anyhow, I need it to dual boot as I also need Windows for a few things. Especially to run some servo tuning software for Delta and maybe Panasonic. Now, if I need to start messing with turning things off in the BIOS to make the T470 work for LCnc (I am on Mesa cards, so maybe I don't) will that also affect the Windows partition or would that be separate? My paranoia is that somehow, I will be limiting how well the laptop would work in Windows mode. That said, I don't know if servo tuning needs anything particular that BIOS modding could mess with.

Yeah, I think I saw and liked that vid last night as that's when I took another stab at finding a laptop that will hopefully work.

Btw, 1920x1080 is a must for ProbeBasic and Chris is putting a ton of work into the ProbeBasic for lathes these days - especially the conversational is beginning to look amazing!
