http://www.vxl.net/Products/products.aspx?CategoryID=Nw==-ejXBZi/4MdY=&SubCategoryID=MjE%3D-P%2BZCCZEIk2g%3D As far as the machine hardware goes: TL-120 looks like it's based on Thinkpad X100e and is fairly likely to work. TL-420 looks like a Thinkpad L420 which uses the Sandy Bridge chipset so afaik graphics are not supported fully yet. The other likely problem area in general is ACPI, if this is same or very similar to the Thinkpad it's based on this is fairly likely to be alright. This is all "likely" not "it will work for sure". Unless you can find someone with the same system and BIOS version, or test before you buy, you can't say for sure until you try it. And this all assumes that the machine is not locked down and that you can actually install your own choice of OS....
