    Well considering Lenovo is a Chinese Thinkpad, its prob. decent. Let me look at the link and Ill get back to you.

    Okay, so your link doesnt work. Let's try a new approach: Whats your budget and requirements of a notebook (not simply tech specs)?

    BelvnAWD I'm Vin, Bell-Vin...

    Since my Father works for Lenovo (formerly IBM) and I have a several year old T series, I like the new thinkpads. That being said, there are cheaper products with more bells and whistles out there. Lenovo (IBM) are known for the quality and stability of their systems, if that is the main focus, I don't think you can go wrong...

    Agreed.

    Are you in need of a solid warranty? Prone to accidents with the machine (eg dropping it)?

    im not abusive to the laptop so warranty is not so important
    Is there anything out there for $700 that is un the 5lb area that i should lookk at ?

    you might pm techlord on here. he has access to a great number of slightly used lenovo's from lockheed. He can usually hook you up...I've bought 4 so far for myself and friends.

    I payed $350 for each...they are really great computers. They're T40s, though I'm not sure on the specs anymore, I couldn't be more happy with the computer. He'll be able to fill you in on any info and they're availability.

    Here's what i remember:
    Pentium M 1.5 ghz
    512mb ram
    wi-fi
    dvd-rom/cd-rw
    windows xp

    + or - a few things!

    He gets them when he can so you gotta check with him.

    Matt - I will see what we have in stock, last time I looked the pickin's were slim. But Kevin will attest I look for the nicest ones. goixiz is looking for something more powerful.

    Thanks man!!

    I just need something simple and reliable. if it has wireless, that's a bonus as my house is already set up for it.

    sorry for the threadjack, goixiz! :D :(
