I haven't used a thinkpad in years. However I would highly recommend the Sony Vaio VGN-S260. I have FC3 running on it currently and all the HW works except for the built-in memory stick reader. The centrino wireless works great with the ipw2200 package and the machine runs extremely well. I have it loaded up with Informix, Postgresql and a lot of data (>10Gig) with no issues so far. I also run open office, data architect, and most of the out of the box software.
