A 700C which got incredible stares from people when I was out with it.
They'd stand there looking at how thin the screen was, and marvel. Of
course, it ate *5* screens during its contract with IBM. Still, it was
beautiful.
A 1451i, pretty reliable for three years.
A 1480i, which still work but I have to stuff a new backlight into it and
fix the DC connector.
An A30p which was great, but had video memory problems which caused me
to send it in to IBM, who promptly declared it toxic, and sent it back,
resulting in their giving me the next computer below.
An A31p which only died about two months ago after years of being in my
backpack. I'm not sure Lenovo will ever equal this unit. Having three
disks inside the system was incredible.
A T60p which is fast, and neat in many ways. Not everything is yet working
under OpenBSD, but its still a great laptop. It feels pretty solid, and is
definitely lighter than the A31p is.
