Great laptop at a low price...

This is a great notebook, people. I loved my first one. It's one of the best business notebooks around and the only things that this particular model is lacking are a CDRW/DVD Combo drive and an SXGA resolution screen, but at this price, I'll take it, especially with XPP and 3 years of warranty directly through IBM. I was nothing but satisfied with mine.

:Q. IBM and best in the same sentence???? As my evidence, I point to UNC-Chapel Hill's Carolina Computing Initiative. Aside from this amusing story:
http://www.unc.edu/dth/archives/2000/09/091200/fnt1.html , I worked for the Physics dept as computer support and we had tons of problems with the IBM laptops and desktops. The IBM laptops were perennial underperformers as well compared to similar machines at that price range and even similar machines at those specs. I cannot comment on Apple because I have no experience but I do strongly disagree with the IBM portion of that statement.

That does not say much about the student body when a good 10% of freshman break their computers at the start of the semester by trying to force a phone line into the ethernet port :Q I can see it now, "I didn't break it, the computer is dumb, not me" "Yes sir, we are sorry, let us fix it"
