Go for an X60 or X61 instead. With an X61 you'll get a Core2Duo, VT support,
8GB memory support and an SATA disk. Plus it's easily possible to find one
still in warranty until 2010 onwards. Only an idiot buys a laptop without a
warranty, except when it's staggeringly cheap.
It could make sense. However, you won't have working suspend/resume with
OpenBSD yet and will have to fight with ACPI and its possible problems.
Not speaking about hibernation, which X4x laptops have. Also, a keyboard
without Microsoft keys is much more comfortable for some. Each has its own
advantages.
