    I was looking at this low cost Lenovo ThinkPad EDGE E420 which is being sold in my area now without an OS.

    It comes with a Sandy Bridge i3 processor, Intel HD 3000 graphics and AMD Radeon HD6630M 1GB Switchable Graphics.

    Does Linux, specifically Ubuntu play nice with switchable graphics?

    TIA
