I've been looking at picking up a cheap, less then current model thinkpad from TigerDirect. The prices are pretty good, and the Linux support for ThinkPad hardware is outstanding. Anything that's not a "mobile" P4 will have pretty good battery life... just find the most hardware that fits in your price range.
Yes, but ThinkPad processors come from the wrong company! :-)
And they run hot. So hot, in fact, that the one I have now will periodically freeze (melt?) and I have to cycle the power. To get any useful time out of it, I have to create an air space beneath the laptop... I doubt I would purchase another. Steve
