the T60's have been very solid so far. Very few problems, and they are about
half way to end of (warranty) life.

We have not seen significant problems with the newer Thinkpads so far. I
also agree that the X301 is a sweet machine, although expensive.
I doubt a SSD will provide any significant increase in speed. At this
point they're not much faster than a regular disk (YMMV).

Subject: [Thinkpad] What type of
I am probably going to have to upgrade my laptop in the near future.
I use a Thinkpad T23 with 1GB ram, 40GB HDD, a 1.13 GHz processor and
Windows XP.
I don't really want to upgrade as most of the reviews I've seen don't
speak too highly of the thinkpad workmanship these days. What I want
is a solid construction laptop (no flexing or creasing with pressure)
with a core 2 duo and at least a 1GB of ram and at least a 100GB HDD.
I looked at the macbooks with the new unibody construction but I've
heard they tend to stop powering on after you've had them for a few
months. I like the idea of the mac but I think the quality has gone
down in recent years. The problem is I think the same thing has
happened to Thinkpads when they became lenovo made.
Does anyone have any personal experience with the newer brands. I'm
looking for essentially what I have now in the T23 just with a faster
processor and more memory and storage space.
Alternatively, I was going to spring for a 60GB SSD and a dvd burner
in this T23 and see if the HDD upgrade would make a difference in
enough to stall this decision.
How fast are the SSD's and do they live as long as the conventional
drives. How do you all like them?
Thanks in advance for any feedback,

learn the right way, or you run out of ways to do it wrong. A win/win
situation!
