I just got myself an Lenovo R61. the fundamental reason was due to the lack
of cardbus laptops out there, they are about but this issue greatly reduced
the pool to choose from. i'm very happy with the r61, i use the rme
multiface so i don't know much about the intel card but initially i found it
hard to get good performance from it.
also, there is a large amount of resourses out there for thinkpad laptops
and linux. this helps in the short and long term.
if you are coming from mac, pre-installed ubuntu is definately a bonus.
good luck to anyone trying to choose a laptop. its a terribly hard decision
and world of comprimises.
