Sure, I'll shill for my Thinkpad T410. The i5 with 4GB memory and a quiet 7500rpm disk makes it my fastest machine evar. I don't know much about graphics hardware; the Intel integrated graphics device meets my modest needs. Battery life is okay, many of the hotkeys work, it runs cool. Has a matte screen. Even has a modem, which may be useful in revolutionary situations when ADSL/wireless is not available. And I'll take this opportunity and soapbox to recommend *against* Toshiba. I had a bad time with an overheating L305 series laptop with Turion dual-core processor and Linux-incompatible fan control. The H2O BIOS may be to blame. It would only *not* overheat at the slowest available speed (1GHz). Cpufrequtils wouldn't get loaded until late in the boot sequencer. (I never changed the init order.) As a result The darn thing would overheat while doing a mandatory chkdsk. :-( Mercifully the screen started misbehaving, giving me an excuse to buy something nicer. :-) -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
