laptop advice time...

[Mauro Souza]

On my previous job I had Thinkpads, from T40 to a T410. All run Linux fine,
almost everything worked out of the box.

My last one (T410) got half a litre cup of orange juice all over his
keyboard while turned on and working hard. I was working on something I
couldn't afford to lose, and I thought I had already lost the notebook.
I got it under a running sink, dropped a lot of water on it (still powered
on) and let it working hard until it got dry. It worked even better,
because it cleaned the keyboard. I had it for 6 months since then, and
never had any trouble with it. Sadly I changed jobs and had to return it.
My new job gave me a Dell Inspiron, and I miss my Thinkpad a lot. I was
even considering buying a T430S, but I won't for now, as I don't need to.
