I'm off to uni in a few weeks time to study computer science and although i'll be taking my trusty pc with me (q6600, 4gb, 8800gt) I currently don't have a laptop besides my ultra slow toshiba libretto 100ct (my ancient compaq m700 bricked) so i was thinking perhaps i might aquire a cheap thinkpad t40 (or something) from ebay.
Is this a really dumb idea or should i go for it, i only really want to use xp and ubuntu for web browsing, office and obviously college stuff so i don't need a that powerful machine. Should i go for a thinkpad or a different brand?
