[nycbug-talk] OT: Laptop is dead - what am I going to do?

[matt at atopia.net]

Nah, looking for a primary machine.  But still light weight and long battery life. 

I have a T42 right now and I like it. A bit too heavy, and I wouldn't mind something with longer battery life, but pretty good.

10 inches or so.  for a primary box I would not go below 15" screen
with the ability to drive a bigger monitor.  I thought you wanted a
check email/light work laptop to carry around.

I have only 3 requirements - that it run freebsd, its light in weight but durable (I carry it everywhere), and it has incredibly long battery life.
