That seems pretty subjective. Lots (and lots) of people actually prefer the sleek, black, and sturdy as hell Thinkpad design. It's a rock.

I've never seen a Dell that looked as though it could stand up in a stiff breeze. Not to mention that ugly silverette finish! And the Windows key! Lemmings! Oh hell, just go to SAM'S and pick up the cheapest, ugliest lappy you can find. It'll be fine!

I totally disagree with regards too the T40 range.
Airbag HD protection.
CD/DVDr drive bay can house a removable 7200 8meg Cache RPM drive.
FingerPrint Scan based security technology.
100% Ti chipset and cardbus controllers.
Highquality internal components.
Will NOT give you any compatibility issues with pretty much any audio software chucked at it.
Can have a battery cell that provides up too 9hours worth of functioning battery life.
Very light weight.
Damn quiet.
Good warranty and trade in options on newer models offered by IBM themselves.
CarbonGraphite - upper and lower casing (damn strong too say the least).
They may not be the prettiest notebook on the block but they are very well built , have superb security features and are as sturdy as all hell.
My aren't the wings of butterflies beautiful and do they not make wonderful perturbations.....

yes, opinions on its form are subjective.
But that IBM is overpriced for the spec is not.

That may change. IBM just recently sold their notebook and PC divisions to a Chinese company, Lenovo.

Big Blue has gone Red!!!

Does anyone know of any PC Notebooks that have 6-pin Firewire ports? Pretty much all the ones that I have seen only have 4-pin ports. I'd really like to be able to power my external audio-interface and not have to worry about the 4 pin side coming loose.

I got myself an Acer Aspire yesterday. 1 gig Ram, Intel Celeron 1.5 GHz.
I don't even know (!) the specs of the soundcard but it behaves OK so far.
Price about 900 $

PC Laptop Acer, XP Home SP2, build in crappy sound card.

my sister has a Compaq M2000 laptop with the Celeron-M 1.5ghz processor.
i was actually surprised at how powerful it was. the Celeron-M certainly doesn't exhibit the lower performance that the regular desktop Celerons do.

it also has shared video memory so it certainly isn't the ideal laptop for music.
However, for $600, i don't think she could have gotten more machine than she did.
