buying a new laptop

[Shao Zhang <shao@linuxfreak.com>]

Hi,
	I am in a process of buying a new laptop. I cannot really afford
	any expensive ones (above AUS$3000), yet a powerfull one. I know
	my requirements are contradicting to each other.

	A thinkpad will be ideal for me, but they are just so expensive.
	I happen to find out this site
		http://www.iedirect.com/default.asp

	Their laptop is so much cheaper compare to others, but I am a
	bit worried if it will run on Linux.

	Has anyone else bought any laptops from this site? Could someone
	recommend what/where to buy new laptops for linux?

	Thanks. (plz cc me when reply as I am not on this list)

Regards,


Shao.
