I honestly thing that there is nothing on the market which matches their quality including Apple laptops. I have ThingPad 390E PII which is seven years old and work like Swiss watch. I bought it on an auction five years ago for $220. The so called power sellers on Ebay are actually IBM or Lenovo proxy sellers. They sell machines which are back from the business lease without charging customers taxes. ThinkPads love FreeBSD.

I'm hearing reports from those who deal with laptops much more that I do that quality has dropped substantially since Lenovo took over.

I'm hearing reports from those who deal with laptops much more that I do that quality has dropped substantially since Lenovo took over. I am on my second Thinkpad/Lenovo, first a G40, now a R61i. I only replaced my G40 because it wouldn't hold enough ram to run VMWare player. I do not think the quality has suffered at all. I cannot say it runs FreeBSD well, though any FreeBSD live CD ran without error and everything functioned on the G40. I run FreeBSD in VMWare on the R61i. Fantastic keyboards, long battery life, great screens. They hold up very well as I am hard on equipment. These things are tanks.

Do yourself a favor and as soon as you obtain your laptop, go out and buy a brand new hard disk drive for it. Not only will you get a disk that is faster and larger, it will be much more reliable than a ratty old hard drive that's probably been bumped and jostled around a lot.
