Laptop update #4: Are you tired of these yet?

[haggholm]

If so, I’m sorry—you have only each other to blame for actually providing quality feedback.

I’m currently tempted by a left-field candidate from LinuxCertified.com, the LC2430S Linux Notebook:

• NVidia graphics
• S-video out What the hell is going on here? I go to the specs page and the version in my cache claims it has an S-video output, but if I clear my cache and refresh, it no longer does so. Does it have S-video or not‽ I hope their people can inform me soon, while their $400 sale is still on, or the point may be moot.
• ~3 hours of battery life (9-cell)
• A bit heavy: ~6lbs (not as heavy as last generation’s 7 lbs)
• Linux-centric business

The battery life clearly isn’t up there with the Thinkpad, but on the other hand, it has graphics that will definitely work for me, and it has S-video output. Maybe I should go with this one…?
