I'm using a ThinkPad 560x; P233, 1.4" thick, 4 pounds, 800x600 display
with Xfree-86. It's quick, quite pleasant to use and nice and light
for schlepping around; I wouldn't mind a larger display but with fvwm
it's quite usable. It should be around the $3K mark by now.

(I'd be very interested in seeing FreeBSD run on the Sony Vaios: even
lighter and thinner).
