Hey while we're on the subject of Lenovo/IBM, any tips on Thinkpads to avoid, either for reliability or not Linux compatible? I'm not having a lot of luck with my usual tactics for obtaining an ebay bargain (2 laptops sent back to the seller DOA so far) so Im now focusing on a brand known for reliability.
I've always gone for ThinkPads, all from eBay. Superb quality, usually very Linux friendly. I've had a 600, 600X, 570E, 760, T20, T22, and my beat-up T23 is still going as my primary laptop. Unfortunately the Lenovo ThinkPads just aren't of the same quality as the old models. That said, I don't have any direct experience with any ThinkPads newer than my T23.
It depends what spec/cost you're looking for I guess. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
