? The ONLY new ThinkPad with IPS (actually AFFS) panels are X200 tablet models. All the other machines have garbage-quality TN panels, whether LED-lit or conventional CCFL. Having said that, if you don't have a requirement for high-end graphics, you should also look into R400.

Nope. Starting with the T60, there's a 20V supply with a new plug.? ? > I really can not see well enough to use the better, high dollar resolution that is on the T43p. Is this a reason to? buy a refurb T400 with LED backlight and also can get a draft N? wireless?? ? I'm afraid only you can answer just how much each option is worth to you. My eyes are fading too, but I enjoy the smooth text edges at higher resolution.

As you like it, but Windows 7 (coming out soon) will be much more compatible with XP than Vista is. It has about the same system requirements as Vista too.? ? I think the dual-core and 64-bit processors are the way to go, along with the faster memory and hard drives of the newer machines, so I'd start with the T60. However, the T61 is less power hungry if battery life is important.? ? For me? I'd probably go with the T400, since ThinkPads last forever and upgrades will get cheaper for a good long while.? ?
