Current ibm models don't work (graphics) AFAIK.
I bought an ibm t23 one month ago or so and I'm quite happy with it.

Confirmed for T31 (i830 chipset, I think; tried it and failed).

Of course, you could always run Plan9 under vmware, then it doesn't matter
what hardware graphics chip the laptop has....

Does anyone know if the current models of laptops from IBM, Sony, or Toshiba
can support Plan 9?  I've looked at the specs and everything that is out there
on the current lists don't carry the supported graphics chipsets.

I could just take a shot at eBay or something, but would rather get new
machine as I don't like paying for new displays and maintenance on laptops
these days.
