I had an IBM ThinkPad T41 that I was using until recently. It was rock solid, ran FreeBSD perfectly, handled all abuse I threw at it (I dropped it a couple of times), and generally did everything I needed it to do. I switched jobs so I had to return that T41, so I'm thinking about buying a ThinkPad of my own. Since the T41 however, IBM has sold its ThinkPad line to Lenovo. I've only heard anecdotal stories about Lenovo, and its largely been about driver compatibility. Can anyone comment on whether or not Lenovo has maintained the IBM quality standards for the ThinkPad line, whether or not a Lenovo would make a good FreeBSD laptop, or suggest some alternatives? thanks, Joe
