New is not a requirement. I am certainly looking for a used ThinkPad. Trouble is, I know little about the models, and there are hundreds. How to pick? Keyboard, as already stated, is a requirement. And I would like to get at least 4 hours out of the fully charged battery. 13", 14", 15" all will suffice. Should be new enough to have virtual support in the processor. Sata. The newer the better, both for performance and longevity. On last Thursday Michael said that there were lots of (T42's I think he said) available in nearly new shape for $200. Would that meet my needs? How does one find such?
