Why does everyone have to post on here a message that says: 1. Most of the devices on my IBM laptop are completely unsupported 2. I love my IBM laptop!! I always run across cheap/free/lying around dell laptops that work great. The sound works, the wireless might work, and suspend usually works. Right now I have a dell latitude c400, they're on ebay for $300, the thing weighs 2.5 pounds, it's very small. And it has the dell tri-metal case that's very nice (i assume the ibm design are one of the strong attractors, dell actually had a nice looking laptop with the c400, unlike ANY of their current line-up) Pretty much any older dell that I try is very well supported, for what it's worth. And while their hardware support doesn't last long (unless it was covered by a 3 year warranty or such), they do post detailed assembly/ disassembly manuals and the motherboards and such are easy to find.
