I'm planning to buy either a Sony VAIO 505F or a Toshiba 3010/3015CT (or a subnotebook with equivalent performances/size/weight, if you have suggestions please do). Has anyone opinion about either of these ? I've seen people using the 505G model in the laptop survey from PAO so I guess the 505F would work. I think some of the KAME people have VAIO notebooks too. My questions are pretty basic: - do I need PAO or is CURRENT enough ? - does the hibernation feature work (saving mem on disk) ? - what are the pros/cons of each brand ? - what are differences between the 3010 and 3015CT (WWW site is not very informative) ? - what are the differences between 505F & 505G (the Sony site is not that precise either) ? - what are the different prices around ? - can I install without a CD-ROM (by FTP/NFS) ? - what about Cardbus / PCMCIA support in FreeBSD ? Sony lists the 505F at around 1700US$ and Toshiba the 3015CT at 1800US$. The Sony 505G seem to be more expensive (why?). I'm not really interested in having a PII CPU, I think a regular pentium is enough for me but I want at least 4 GB/64 MB. Please Cc: me any answers as this address is not subscribed to the list.
