Thoughts on purchasing an IBM Z60m laptop ?

Hi fellow tekkies;

I'm thinking about getting a new laptop. I want one with easy access to the main hard drive so I can install freeBSD on one hd, centOS on another, ad openSUSE on a third. The z series IBM has this, is rugged and has the ultra bay where I can have a cd/dvd burner, or swap it out for a second ATA hard drive.

Anyone have any thoughts, experioences, etc with the Z-series IBM laptops or similar (maybe the T-series) ?

I've used both, but only with Windows XP. Very nice, other than I had 2 in a row of a particular model arrive with defects (different each time) that required replacement.
