Hey all,
It's looking very much like my current laptop is dead. Am yet to get a
quote on fixing it but weighing up the option of getting a new laptop
to replace it. I initially thought a PowerBook was the way to go since
they seem to be outrageously fashionable these days, but the advice I've
had suggests that Linux doesn't support a bunch of the hardware in the
current models.
So I stumbled upon the Toshiba Portege M100 which looks like a cool box.
Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding linux compatability information
on it. Specs for it are here:

Does anyone know how well these things work with linux? linux-laptops.net
didn't have them listed. The things I'm most concerned about are:
* Getting decent (not necessarily stellar) performance in X.
* Working wireless and bluetooth.
I'd also be interested in anyone who has found a particular type of laptop
to be awesome on linux. I'd prefer a smaller machine (ie around 12 inch
monitor), but aside from that I'm flexible.
Thanks,
James.
