Java, I have to disagree with your post:



Thinkpads are very dependable laptops. Things to consider when buying a laptop in descending priority:

1) Price smacks forehead
2) RAM (2GB is the WORST case scenario)
3) CPU type/speed (2.0GHZ is typical =/ and at least an Intel Duo core)
4) Graphics Card (Make sure it has at least 256MB of dedicated memory, which is essentially RAM that is reserved for graphical processes and gaming)
4) Hard Drive (200GB is plenty unless your modeling the climate for NASA)




That one I’ll give to you.
2GB of RAM is plenty for most people. Unless you play intensive games or do some sort of media editing, you probably won’t notice the difference between 2GB and 4GB.
See #2.
Most people don’t even need a dedicated card. Again, unless they game or do media editing, and esp if all they do is homework/web surfing/video streaming/music playback/light gaming, a standard integrated GPU is more than enough for them.
Again, 200GB is plenty of space for most people. Usually it’s only enthusiasts like me who need more space than that. For the average user who again does homework/web surfing/video streaming/music playback/light gaming, 200GB is plenty of space.
