That is a very broad and probably invalid statement as IBM has a presence on the Lenovo board and ThinkPad development is still being done in the US (North Carolina) by pretty much the same group of engineers. Of course, there are likely some strategic changes from Lenovo in China that are impacting things. The T60 Core Duo systems look pretty good, although they all come with the dreaded 3945 wireless card. You can get am Athlon, but they are no longer "standard" upgrades. You get the system either without wireless or you replace the installed wireless card with the Atheros. HDA audio seems to be working, but I have done no serious testing since my laptop is an older T43 and the owner of the T60 does not use FreeBSD on it. The only REALLY new ThinkPad member is the Z series and I have no experience with them. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
