I'm owning an R40 and it works well driver-wise. But the USB- and PCMCIA-controller have broken 3 times and the mainboard has been replaced twice because of this. Now I am out of warranty and a replacement board costs ~$600. If you really go for a Thinkpad make sure you have at least a 3 years warranty plan. freebsd@meijome.net wrote: > hi everyone, > I'm looking for a new, gruntier laptop.
