I can't speak for Thinkpads, but previously I had a brand that I can't even recall now, [installed with win2.1] as the company stopped making them, and went into making white goods. My brother-in-law has a Toshiba, and I have been using Acer's and this latest is an Aspire 1330 model. It would seem to me that if a laptop didn't work without a battery being inserted, that it was flawed, but that is just my prejudice. It would be interesting to know if a Thinkpad doesn't work unless a battery is inserted, so that i could recommend that no one ever buys one.
