You might want to take a look at those new lenovo Thinkpads, especially
the X series.
I have been using a thinkpad x60s with OpenBSD/PureDyne for a while now, and
I'm very happy with it.
It is very lightweight, hardware works great with opensource drivers, and it
has good baery life.
This one is an IBM though, but still it seems to what I heard that
thinkpads remain highly reliable.
Compared to my MBP (probably the same as you have, revision 1,1), also
running OpenBSD/PureDyne, hardware works better and out of the box when it
comes to have free
software only (even though the mac is now old enough to have
okay-working drivers). I think this is an important aspect to take into
consideration if you don't want to mess around with -mm patches and so
i am wondering if anyone has any experience with Asus eee 1201HA
http://www.netbookreviews.net/asus/eee-pc-1201ha/
and how this would compare with a Thinkpad x61 in terms of compatibility
with PureDyne, but also performance.
I also noticed that the Asus eee 1201HA does not have firewire... is
there some way to add a firewire port to a machine that does not have
pcmcia ? i guess it is impossible
After some check in ebay for a second had x61 i noticed that the cost of
this would be almost the same as the asus 1201HA in the shop.
i guess the worst thing with the x61 is the screen resolution, 1024x768
is starting to get too small...
thanks

This is two different things though.
One is a high-end core duo based laptop, the other is a low-cost Atom
based netbook. If you're looking for reliability and performance as it
was previously the topic, your choice is made.
i see... Atoms are not very fast then, thanks. I am also considering the
T61 but this is pretty similar to X61 apart from the size and screen
resolution ... which affects the battery performance.
