Caveat: you must have an Intel 6235 wifi chip installed for everything
to work under 9front. It's Lenovo part number 04W3798 and is cheap.
I have two X250s, both 1920x1080, one touchscreen and one without. The
touchscreen works in 9front. The T450 is a larger model that can
handle 32GB of ram, where the X250 tops out at 16GB.
The other advantage to these specific models is they do not have stupid
whitelists in the firmware, which means you can buy a 2242-form-factor
m.2 SSD and put it in the WWAN slot. The machine can boot from the SATA
drive or the m.2 slot, so choosing OpenBSD or 9front is a keystroke at
boot time and you do not have to screw around with chaining bootloaders.
