Hello GregC123,

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)

Here is what I think:
Processor is great and you should have no problems with the awesome 2.53GHz clock speed, which just tells you how many calculations it can manage per second. Hard rive is PLENTY big, and you can always get an external for all of your downloads. Now the graphics card is not the greatest for gaming it’s designed for business applications, but it will get the job done for all of your college needs unless you are in engineering and are rendering 3D images in which case you may experience a little lag here and there. Overall it is a good PC for your typical college experience, though a wee bit pricey. Check out Toshiba’s satellite models. I have one and, well, I can’t really tell you what I do on it or I’d have to kill you. Ok good luck!
