There are a couple of comments in the code which mention the 1800.

The technical specs are not terribly detailed. For the 3000-X4 they
don't even say what the graphics chip is.
On a slightly different line, since I posted my questions about
Toshiba laptops I've realized that the Sony Vaio FX501 seems to be a
very interesting possibility as far as my budget is concerned. It
comes with a 20 Gb disk and 256 Memory. Has anyone here had any experience
with this particular model under Debian? The specs say it comes with
an ATI Mobility M1 graphics chip. Any idea how this compares with the
Trident Cyber Aladdin-T in the Toshiba 1800? What about reliability
and support? Any thoughts on this are welcome.
Cheers,
Luis
