I have a few laptops, but I did mention that I run a Lenovo. The machine I am currently on is a Lenovo G550

I currently have a Lenovo T61 which for my uses is great, but 1) with 9-cell battery it weighs a lot for travel where I use one for e-mail, browsing and the like, and 2) I'm not a great fan of 16x9 video. Seems that Lenovo sells used T43s refurbished with 6mos Lenovo warranty... Any comments and opinions welcome..

They are all well supported. The new Lenovo models also work well. I have a T42 with a noisy fan, a T23 with a bad battery as a server. My T61 is setup for development and I am looking at an X3__ series for travel now...

They're a little larger than the T43, but they're still very manageable for travel. With shipping one would cost about $225 from Newegg right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246162 Jeremy On Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:40:35 -0400, John McKelvey wrote: > FWLUGers,, > > Apologies for the topic, but I would like a good used 4x3-video > laptop and there was a person attending the FWLUG meetings who used > one, an IBM T43 or similar, and really liked it.
