    Hmm....why would they want to trade if there laptop has better specs? It would be a great deal, provided there is nothing wrong with their machine.

    So you have wireless and he doesn't? I don't know, sounds sketchy to me. Personally I probably wouldn't do it.

    No, our laptops both do. I found one problem, his wifi chipset for some dumb reason doesn't get detected by gentoo's lspci and mine does but when we booted up his laptop to xp it found it as orinco or something... I told him im sticking with mine unless i read up somethin on the net that tells me why his chipset isnt working in linux (more specifcially gentoo).


    thanks for input..

    BTW - Do the T series have better screens than the R series??

    I don't know what the screen diff is. I think you may the right choice in keeping your laptop though.
