I'll stick with Lenovos. My R51 is still going strong. http://charlescurley.com/Lenovo.R51.html. My T61 (BIOS dated 07/01/2008) is doing fine. Both run Ubuntu and Debian just fine, but require proprietary bits for the wireless (ipw2200 and iwl3945, respectively). I suspect the only place the latter fails your requirements is in the vertical resolution. It displays 1680x1050. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
