My laptop was dropped, and if it's beyond repair, I need a new one

advices to this end, here are a few thoughts:

I saw a secondhand ThinkPad X61s (dual-core 1.6Ghz, 3Gb ram, 12"
display) from a well known online shop I trust and used many times
(bought my current laptop there). There's 6 months warrenty, and my
general impression with ThinkPads is that they have good build quality,
it's the only laptop I would consider buying used. It has firewire so...
+1 for thinkpads.
after burning a T40 I got a secondhand x60 4 months ago and it's been
doing great (running arch as well).
I use it for dev work, music studio and gigs. never got any problems
with usb and fw soundcards.
it's sometimes a bit low on cpu but, for 200€ ... ;)
cheers,
