The Ideapad is a consumer device. The Thinkpad is still there as a brand, available in a number of consumer outlets, but at a price.

Hi Listers,

I am trying to buy a Notebook or Laptop that would be best suited for the outdoors i.e. hard casing. that will run Linux.

Should be 64 bit with serious processing power :-)

So far I have shortlisted to the Lenovo Ideapad formerly IBM think pad.

What are your suggestions and where can I purchase in Nairobi.

Thanks in advance.
