I plan to buy one but if all you said is correct, I can't imagine buy somthing about 3000€ here if I can't be sure the tech team is correct. So what would you recommend other than Sony with a good Linux support preferably a centrino based technology and with a good tech team ? My taste for a new notebook are these: centrino, HDD of 40Go (minimum), 256Mo of RAM, good Linux support, good tech team, less than 3000€.
