[plug] TPG notebook

[Ben Jensz]

If you want a laptop for use away from a power point, I doubt that one 
would last very long on battery.  See if you can find out more details 
about the LAN/modem, because those are the things that may not work 
properly under Linux or may be a bit of a PITA to get working.

Personally I'm looking at buying an IBM Thinkpad R50 sometime soon if 
work approves it, but thats more than double that one in price..
