While TP are well known for good battery performance and solid hardware crafting (but Lenovo may level the niveau now, probably even IBM would have been urged to do so), many people are looking for a desktop replacement which mostly is on main power and has good multimedia capabilities, and a wide screen. Ideally, something in the way of a Apple Powerbook....
It's no bad idea to also look up what machines are shipped with preinstalled Linux. For example, http://www.emperorlinux.com/ offers Thinkpads, Dell Latitude, Sony Vaio, and Sharp Actius; some of these with WUXGA (1920x1200) wide screen. I'd recommend a dual-core CPU in any case, if only because they produce less heat and should be more quiet, under comparable load. Tuxmobil maintains lists at http://tuxmobil.org/reseller.html and http://tuxmobil.org/laptop_manufacturer.html (some links are obsolete as it's a rapid marked anyway). Rather icky seemed to be, at least in the past, Acer for their special BIOS features, perhaps someone can confirm that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
