When I'm thinking laptops and not trying to be overly parsimonious,
Thinkpads end up at the top of my list. They're nice-looking,
well-designed, not unpleasant to support, and usually run the OS of
one's choice beautifully. When I get a Real Job, I hope to replace my
aging Dell with a Thinkpad X series.

Out of curiosity, what's your answers to these for your last laptop?
I've never bought a new laptop, but my list of extras are high-cap
battery + spare, power-supply, dock (if cheap) and a DVD-RW drive.
Extra warranty, if cheap.

Find a friendly IBM employee. You just need their name and ID to get
some great discounts at IBM's online store.
