Oh, the last couple years thinkpads have been made by lenovo, and Ive read that the lenovo thinkpads are not as durable as the pre-lenovo thinkpads. I still like thinkpads, infact, i wont give up my old 600x! Last year, i needed a new laptop, and I ended up getting an acer, which is pretty decent for the price, but i still use the averatec the most. A friend wanted an inexpensive laptop, and I found her a deal on an acer also, for about $500, she got a new laptop, printer, and wifi router. I also like the apple laptops, but but like the thinkpads, i dont much like the price :( Jamie > > > -- > Mike Cherba > Cavium Networks > 883 Brookside Dr > Eugene, OR 97405 > phone: (541) 684-3820 > Cell: (541) 914-2188 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www.caviumnetworks.com > _______________________________________________ > EUGLUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
