Linux or not: I would avoid T6x with NVidia. They are renowned 
for failures. AFAIK the NVidia design error was corrected August 
2008 (or was it 2009?), anyway shortly before production ended. 
*Not all* device suffer from that error, but from the outside you 
cannot see. With the Intel graphics you are safe, also linux wise 
(no prorietary driver required).
