As long as the quality doesn't come down along with it
. . . .

I've resisted buying a laptop for a very long time,
but some of the TP line -- in addition to all the good
things you and many others have reported about them --
has been known to have driver support for OS/2 | eCS
that is *far* more comprehensive than anything else
out there. This is important if that is your OS of
choice (as it still happens to be mine), and you want
to be able to operate all or very nearly all of the
laptop's devices on that platform. Therefore, I have
some perception of possibly being about to miss the
boat, if I *don't* get one.
