All, At the request of a volunteer, we've purchased three more laptops for events. They're free for any volunteer to take along to events - just ask us and we'll get them sent to you or the event.
These ones are quite powerful, and relatively lightweight - they're the same ones that we used at IBM as company laptops. They are extremely robust - I've seen things happen to them that would make a Mac cry. The laptops themselves are specced as follows: "Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15, Intel Core i3-380M processor, 15.6" screen, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD". They have a webcam, and a card reader, and a dual-layer DVD+-RW drive. They all come with Windows 7 installed, but it'd be nice if a volunteer with experience in open-source software came in and got them to dual-boot with a suitable version of Linux. Any volunteers?
