My current employer just bought me a new IBM ThinkPad 600E with DVD. IBM is typically on the expensive side, but the product and service is steller!! IBM has a history of outstanding support and service, it usually loses points when it comes to the price. While I still miss my Transmonde notebook, the TP has been more than adequate.
