I don't have answers, but do have very similar questions. To add to Arindam's list: what about Acer? Sony? Toshiba? Compaq? HP Pavilion? 0. Which of these are easily available in Kolkata? 1. Processor: Is there much variability between brands on this count? What's a good laptop processor? 2. Display: does Linux work smoothly with something like the wide-screen Compaqs? 3. Weight: if you're traveling a lot, it's probably important for the laptop to be light-weight. 4. Robustness (will it take some knocking about?), reliability, service, etc.? Also, I assume one can request one's own configuration regarding amount of RAM, whether it has a DVD writer, etc.? > My vote is for Thinkpads - I have a T42p - rock solid.
