Just be aware that the T21 with the SXGA+ resolution screen has a problem in that it cannot reliably produce a simultaneous CRT and external
display under Linux (makes for extremely frustrating presentations). The T21s (with SXGA+ resolution) have the Savage IX8 chipsets and the T23s
have the ProSavage chipsets. I have no idea whether the T23s will have the same problem but I do notice that they are not selling one with
pre-installed Linux.....
