Anyone out there in Internet land have an IBM ThinkPad? Specifically the T41? My Dell Inspiron 1100 just ain't cuttin' it in terms of portability, though everything else rocks.
Oh yeah, and a Dell laptop is for sale. About a year old. Great shape.

Foo! If I hadn't typo'ed , that would be a link to www.apple.com/education, which has a price list.

Edu discounts on iBooks range from $150-$100 off, which is a good chunk of change off a $1100 base machine. They're nice machines, too. You should also (if you switch platforms or not) remember the joys of academic pricing on software. I know I miss those rates...

you could just take the plunge and buy an ibook with your .edu discount. I slobber over Sophia's (ibook) every time I see it.

It's what the office got for me. I use it for a desktop replacement (it replaced a 450MHz IBM that was 5 years old). The TCP/IP changing software is sorta clunky, but not the worst thing I've ever seen. I drag it home when I have to work from home or from the Times Square office. Otherwise, it's pretty much invisible. It's a Windows laptop, there's just not that much excitement that can raise in me.

It's not just girls who want to stroke it- Ilan has just spent the last 5 minutes doing that to mine. My Lifebook, that is.

less than 3 lbs, and the girls all want to stroke it. Ahh, undergrads. I keep getting older, and they just stay the same age.

I think the lifebook-P is reasonably priced, and actually portable. You might also consider a used vaio. Mine's a pcg-nvx something or other, with a pII.. Runs 98, and is more than enough for class. Magnesium case,
