Yeah, it finally came. The damn thing is AWESOME:

1.6ghz Pentium M (equiv to 2.4ghz Pentium-4 I hear)
512mb
40gb HDD
Integrated Wireless a/g/b
Ultrabase Dock
CDRW/DVD Player


I'm so happy. I love IBMs. And I LOVE free $2000 Tech bonuses! All the hard work in lawschool finally paid off. Sorry to brag, but I can finally pat myself on my shoulder - skipping out on all those nights out with the other students, and studying even when I didn't want to. Now I have the $$ to really go out and enjoy myself, and to do so with a nice job to boot. To all you lawschool hopefuls - bust your ass and you'll get your rewards. I wrote up a HUGE post about how law school operates, and posted it here awhile ago.

What's the viewable screen size on those ? I still have an A21m and love the 15" viewable. I'm about to get a T41 and I think it's going to be smaller. 🙁
 
Nice specs. I doubt I'll be seeing any "Tech bonuses" when I graduate law school in May 🙂 But it's just as well, I couldn't handle a >40 hr work week
 
I started out with an A21m, then a year later, got a T22, then just bought this X21. Like you, I was all about the 15" viewable area, but I've come to learn through the years that I value size over window size. Carrying an A21 for the first two years of lawschool in my backpack, in one word, SUCKED. I remember seeing those kids with Dell lappys that were even bigger - WTF. I WISH I had this baby in law school. Wow - my back would be the better for it. I still suffer back spasms from those year.
 
I'll tell you. The new T40s are BIGGER than the older T series. I used one as a a summer associate (worked at the firm I'm at now for the previous summer). They are just thinner. They have that godawful touchpad thing - NEVER liked those, and why add 4 inches of 'puter to have one of those things on it?

I'm spoiled forever by my A21p. 15", UXGA (1600x1200) screen. I can never go back to anything smaller than 1600x1200 again.

My ThinkPad has been my only computer for four years now. I love this laptop.

Is this what work bought you? Or is it what you paid from your work? 🙂

If I could ask, what firm do you work for? (PM if necessary).
