I've been very happy with my used Thinkpads. I just got a used T400 off Ebay for $315. incl shipping. Put an extra 2gb RAM and Ubuntu 11.04-64 on it and it's just fine. I really like the Thinkpad docking station, too. For a while I was running two 22" LED monitors off the dockstation DVI and VGA ports. The only glitches I can think of have been with hibernate and switching back and forth from laptop screen to desk monitors, but I'm not sure these are necessarily Thinkpad issues. Many other Thinkpads before this one have worked fine too. In general, the only issue I'd warn a persnickety Windows user about Linux is that Flash is not always 100% (at least in Chromium). Otherwise, after doing all the post-install tweaks, I can't think of anything a "civilian" would find wrong. L.

Anybody know if they sell a good laptop for Linux? Anybody have any suggestions for a Linux laptop (doesn't need to be preloaded as I would probably want to put my favorite distribution on anyway).
