From: "Mihai Popescu B.S." <mihai...@gmail.com> I don't need dual core since the support for this is scarce in many operating systems.
With respect, scarce in what operating system apart from say, DOS?
I can't think of any Unixes or Unix alikes that don't have SMP support (even Plan 9 does). OS/2 has had it as an option since the early 90s. NT right from the start. Same with BeOS.
Unless you're using something really obscure I'm struggling to think of anything else.
IBM laptops have an excellent record for reliability and support, plus one of the best keyboards you can get. Not cheap though. It's also worth mentioning that the T series have both the p (professional, discrete graphics, possibly other faster stuff) and non p (integrated graphics) series. Not really an issue unless you need OpenGL or games, though.
