When my Thinkpad T30 was nearing the end of warranty, I had to get its system board replaced 3 times (apparently they had a bad batch). On the third time, a service rep from an escalated department called me, and ask me if instead of sending back my T30 again, they could just upgrade me to a current model as long as I wouldn't mind a 4 week delay for manufacturing. I sure as hell wasn't about to say no!
Sufficed to say, here I sit typing this response on my new T43, with every feature imaginable (cuz my T30 was top for its time). This one experience will make me always buy a thinkpad.
PS - another reason I will always buy a thinkpad, all the preloaded software is actually useful!!!! Access Connections, Easy Eject (ejecting multiple USB things with one button press), Presentation Director, Fingerprint Software!!! I have to say, Access Connections 4 is the best thing EVER.
