This is a hardware question.
Which brand and model(s) of laptop have people successfully installed
devuan onto?

How difficult was it?

------
A Lenovo T400 and T420.

For both, I removed the optical drive and replaced it with a 500 GiB
fixed disk using the factory mounts; its an option on these systems.

Both dual boot to ASCII or Windows 10 Professional 64.

Both have 8GiB of RAM

Everything on both works just fine except for the fingerprint readers,
which is not an ASCII problem but rather poor Linux support.

Sound, touch pad, correct video resolution, the network, Bluetooth, etc.
works fine. Performance using the same application, for example Libre
Office, is noticeably better than with W10.
