    I'm trying to decide wich Notebook is going to be better. The IBM is just slightly more money. What is your opinion?

    I have the Dell Precision m70. It (was) the workstation version if the d830, although two years old now. Rock solid machine.
    I bought an r (41 or 51) a few months back on sale for 500 just to see the difference in ibm and I would buy the t61, not the r61, the price is not very different rather than the dell.
