Sure, I'll shill for my Thinkpad T410. The i5 with

4GB memory and a quiet 7500rpm disk makes it my

fastest machine evar.
I don't know much about graphics hardware; the Intel integrated

graphics device meets my modest needs.
Battery life is okay, many of the hotkeys work, it runs

cool. Has a matte screen.
Even has a modem, which may be useful in revolutionary

situations when ADSL/wireless is not available.
And I'll take this opportunity and soapbox to recommend

*against* Toshiba. I had a bad time with an

overheating L305 series laptop with Turion dual-core processor and

Linux-incompatible fan control. 
The H2O BIOS may be to blame.
It would only *not* overheat at the slowest available speed (1GHz).

Cpufrequtils wouldn't get loaded until late in the boot

sequencer. (I never changed the init order.)  As a result

The darn thing would overheat while doing a mandatory chkdsk. :-(
Mercifully the screen started misbehaving, giving me an

excuse to buy something nicer. :-)
