[ltp] What to take care of when buying a Lenovo?

[Michael Gaber]

i would only recommend to you, that you buy the TP with the least ram 
you could get and purchase additional ram yourself, which is way cheaper 
then the prices lenovo charges

for the hdd i personally would prefer one with 7200rpm (which i think 
are available up to 200G in thinkpads)

i didn't notice any problems with thinkpads and linux, (except that the 
gentoo-x64-livecd won't boot at all and kubuntu booted only with noapic 
and nolapic kernel params, which were NOT nescessary on my installed 
gentoo x64 system
