To me, there's only one player in teh laptop market...IBM Thinkpad's hands down. If not just for their linux compatibility, for their design and durability. Until any other laptop vendor out there has titanium hinges from teh base to the lcd, and can flatten out completely, I personally would look no other way. ESPECIALLY if you have kids whom may be around while it's on your lap. I've had my daughter come in front of me and pull down on my screen, and i had no concern whatsoever. If it was a dell, hp, mac, or any other vendor really for that matter, it would have snapped. Also, if your ever in your car or anything like that while ur lappy is on, I can sit a thinkpad on my steering wheel, and position my screen upright. Yet again, any other model's screen would most likely be positioned chest level.
Like I said, it may just be personal preference, but just teh screen alone sells me on them. I've had a T40, and on a T42 now for a couple of years running Gentoo only. Never booted to anything but on either one actually. Been drooling over the Z61T for some time also. Of course like you mentioned, the X series are incredible as well, but i like the idea of the cd/dvd rom being in the chasis over the docking station. Something about a little 12inch screen with a weight of only 3lbs is quite appealing though! =D Good Luck with your hunt!!!!! On 6/4/07, Dinar Valeev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, i've decided to buy a new laptop. I'm looking for a small lightweight 12,1'' laptop based on a new Intel santa-rosa platform. I have 5 models. Acer TM6292 HP 2510p HP 2710p IBM x61 IBM x61 Tablet The most important is linux compatibility which have HP (it certified to run SLED10) but its processor has poor performance (Intel ULV 1.02GHz) Acer is a best choice but it does not compatible with Linux and its weight is aprox 2.0Kg. Im afraid that my Wireless and bluetooth buttons will not work IBM did'nt have internal DVD (only through dock station) any comments? -- with best regards from Russia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
