The IBM ThinkPad X40, as I've mentioned before, is 1.47kg (less if you get the 4-cell, rather than the 8-cell, battery) of pure love. I couldn't imagine owning another laptop. But, there's something immensely cool about it -- other than its size, its weight, its build quality, its features. It's that, with one boot option and one package, I have working support for ACPI suspend-to-RAM (and proper resuming), DRI, wireless LAN, Bluetooth (more on that in a soon-to-be-written entry), PCMCIA, VGA out, Ethernet, USB, sound, and just about everything else. I don't know if the internal modem works -- but I'll find out tomorrow -- and the SD slot doesn't work, because the SD consortium have only just released the relevant specs, apparently. Other that, we're talking about flawless out-of-the-box support. Other distributions will need to apply the latest patch from acpi.sf.net to their kernel to feel the full love, I suspect.

Two steps ... holy god.
