With my MBA studies commencing next month, I'll be needing a new laptop PC. My previous laptop was a Dell Latitude PIII-600, an average machine that I had to give back to Dimension Data when I was retrenched. Over the years I've had laptops from Compaq, IBM, and Dell. The IBM Thinkpads are the most reliable by a long shot. Unfortunately, they're also quite expensive. The IBM Thinkpad: R Series seem to provide pretty good value for money - there's a PIII 1.0GHz / 128Mb / 30 Gb / DVD-ROM with built-in modem and networking and Windows XP for $3999 available on the IBM website.
If anyone out there has used the R Series, can you please send me your war stories. I'm planning to make my purchase in early January.
