Well their support for Thinkpad R31 models sucks. The APM-bios is broken,
the ACPI is broken and does not work without heavy hacking. There is no
documentation available fot the S Video out. Support questions about Linux
are answered with a stereotypical "Not supported OS".
Also you have to buy MS Windows! The hardware itself is very nice and works
fine after some fiddling.
