Hi,
Its less expensive in US and Singapore. I have a R51,
but the internal modem does not work. Guess its a
winmodem.
I heard from my friends (sysadmins who work lot on
linux) that thinkpads were robust . Toshiba is pretty
good too.
Finally, its requirements that matters. I find the 15"
screen better for programming than smaller wider
screens.
I did not have the option of getting without windows.
Thinkpads come with recovery discs. If u resize
partition, recovery discs dont work. Tryin to upgrade
to bigger drive and stuck because I cant clone the
drive. Maybe I should try dd or maybe mondo. any
ideas? going to connect new disk through usb.
regards,
sanjay

a friend got a lenovo notebook the other day -
pre-installed, and when the license agreement cameup, there was no
option to reject the agreement, so he is beingrefused a refund for the
cost of vista - be careful, you might wind uppaying for vista
Some of the R-series Thinkpads do come without
windows pre-installed (I
got my R51 this way) - just ask them if they could
provide the system
without Windows - normally they should have that
option. In this case,
it will only come with DOS.
Thinkpads work very well with Linux - haven't heard
anyone who I know
who got a Thinkpad complain about Linux
compatibility - just get the
laptop without Windows, load up Ubuntu and you're
good to go. Things
like hibernate, suspend, etc should just work.
