> A Thinkpad X60 or X61 works great and is very light, too.
I have an X61T that works great with 9front. The T61 is also
a good choice (almost identical hardware to the X61T, but with
no tablet and a 14" 1280x800 screen). Some caveats:
- There are no known working Mini PCI Express wifi cards
- apm is not functional
Hardware stats on the T61:
