Albuquerque Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Just for future posterity, I am going to echo the "Buy an IBM" response. If you've got the money, you almost can't go wrong with any one of their lineup.I had an IBM Thinkpad 600E from when it was brand new almost 10 years ago. It has been an excellent machine for everything; the battery finally died when it was about 8 1/2 years old. I bought a new battery online, upgraded the processor from a P2/333 to a P3/866, picked up 512mb of ram and a 60gb 7200 RPM harddrive and it's just like brand new again.My company also deploys nothing but IBM laptops; we have more than three thousand of them in circulation right now. I'm typing on an R50 with 2GB of ram and a 1.7ghz Banias processor; we've sinced moved on to T42's, T43's and now T60's with the Core Duo, 1GB of DDR2 ram, 128mb X300 video, 100gb hd, DVDRW, SXGA, 802.11abg, etc. Great boxes and actually not as expensive as I thought.
