Hi Guys, thanks a lot for your replies. According to your mails there are indeed noteboks with decent build-in sound capabilities. Since I need FM-radio quality only, I don't need a highend external sound card. Running Linux and WLAN should normally be no problem. Since I don't want to spend much more than 1000-1200 EUR ThinkPads etc. are no option. Dell looks good however. I'll keep you updated. r@xxx Mark Knecht wrote: >>What is the status of the HDSP via cardbus (what is the firmware >>problem)?
