RE: Suggestions!!!

From my experience - 

Toshiba are very proprietary and heavy. I have three here with cracked
screens and burned out mice. Engineer here requested a Toshiba and it suct,
we returned it for a ThinkPad.

Older Dell's break easily. I have a brand new Latitude that is very nice.
Dell support is #1.

IBM Thinkpads have been very reliable and the support is incredibly good. My
previous job I managed 200 Thinkpads and calling IBM was always a good
experience. The recovery disks rock when u need um, and they are easy to
ghost.

Compaq Laptops and consumer PCs suck. But their servers are the greatest
machines on the planet.

My 2 cents.

re: Toshiba laptops for a sysadmin - agreed.  We use Toshiba laptops
exclusively. (Also Compaq servers and Dell desktops for what that's worth).

After several Compaq's I just bought a Toshiba Satellite 5105-S607 - it is
excellent. Pentium 4m 1.7GHz, 512mb, 40Gb, DVD, 1600x1280 screen for $2,500
