Sony Vaio N505* vs Toshiba Portege 34*

[Stephen Turner <S.R.E.Turner@statslab.cam.ac.uk>]

I'm thinking of getting an ultra-light laptop -- probably either a Sony Vaio
or a Toshiba Portege. Of course the primary requirement is Debian
compatibility. :) Anyone have any comments, good or bad, about Debian on
either of these models, or a comparison between the two, or a suggestion for
other machines I should look at, or any other useful information?

TIA.
