<p>Ha ha, just scrolled up and read your message-he is correct. Lenovo isn’t flashy, but since they are generally work contracted computers, they are sturdy-no crummy flimsy hinges, better keyboard and indestructible. You can pick up one for a song, as business contracts are upgraded, and they release the older models. I am on a T-51 that I picked up off Craigslist for 60.00.
Again, because the future seems to be tablet/ipad technology, I would buy a cheap reliable used system like the thinkpad (terrific online support btw), and wait to invest the bigger money on an ipad/tablet clone system.</p>
