Thank you for the suggestion but the Laptop testing project is
intended to be a simple way for anyone (ordinary users or even
newbies) to test their own laptop.
Here are the testcases:

I find the approach you point out a bit complicated to carry out for
ordinary users.

That said, I would be happy to contact Manoj and talk about this.

BTW, in the announce I forgot to mention that Thursday 25 is the
"Alpha 3" day, so it would be nice to start testing some laptops. ;-)
Moreover, as Ara told me few days ago, it would be wonderful to use
the project in the coming Ubuntu Global Jam. :-)
What do you all think about it?

Regards,
Sergio.
