Okay, my notebook PC (Linux Thinkpad) is old and clunky, and I'm thinking of finally joining the 21st century of notebooks with ACPI that don't suspend/resume to RAM under Linux.

Why? I want more speed and more RAM (aka even more speed).

Dell has sent me a coupon for 30% off the web price on several of their models, including the Inspiron 6000 with UWUXGA (1920x1200) 15" displays -- as well as the 9300 with a 17" version of that display.

Any caveats come to mind from anyone out there? The price is excellent for the I6000 models.. I can get 1.86GHz P-M w/ATI-128MB (ugh, but it does work with X11) and 2GB of SDRAM for around US$2000 or so after taxes here.

Looks good to me, apart from giving up suspend/resume to/from RAM under Linux (have to use "software suspend" to disk instead).
