Hi all, I am considering ordering a Lenovo Thinkpad T520, and have the following questions. I intend to use it with Debian, can go with Ubuntu if it makes a difference.
1. It has "Integrated Mobile Broadband" and an optional "Gobi 3000". Will they work in Israel? Am I limited to specific suppliers? Is there a reason for the extra $125 for a Gobi 3000, assuming I'll use it only in Israel? A salesman now told me that it's not integrated but I have to buy some Erricsson modem (part number 0a36186). 2. It has a "Thinkpad b/g/n" Integrated WiFi and few optional extras. Is there a reason to pay for for one of the options, assuming I do not have extreme needs of either bad reception or high bandwidth? Will any of them work better in linux? FWIW, I currently have a T42 with its integrated 2200BG which basically works well, but recently I did not manage to connect to few networks - IIRC I saw somewhere it's a (fixed) bug in the dhcp client but I did not bother debugging. I already searched a bit the net, so I'd like mainly advices from people who actually have one (or similar) and real experience.
