Choosing Ubuntu Fully Compatible Laptop Is Easier ...
It's showing my laptop (Lenovo x120e) on this list, but my laptop has known issues with the current wifi drivers which causes kernel panics.

There is an X100e and X121e listed, but no X120e. I've seen enough hardware listings to know that there's no guarantee of equivalence between models.

Not even between devices with exactly the same model numbers. I've seen batches of "identical" laptops arrive from the factory with a mix of Broadcom and Atheros wifi, for instance.

Yes. Device substitutions are hard enough, but device revisions add another layer of complexity.

It shows x120e right under the x1, no?

No. X1, X121e, X201.
