I was just given an IBM ThinkPad by my employer. It's a T30 model -- 1.8 GHz P4-M, 512 MB, 30 GB HD and pretty nice 3D acceleration. I think it's an integrated Intel chip. It is quite a nice machine -- robust, light and runs cool, generally. I have Solidworks on it and it performs well. It sometimes crashes Solidworks, which subsequently crashes just about everything else -- but that might just be Solidworks itself. I've never had Solidworks show much stability.
