Hi all, Lucky me, time to order a new Thinkpad. I have had a T20, T23, T40, T41p, and am now on a T61p. The T61p is great, it is just too big and heavy, I'm ready for thin and light with more battery life.
I think the T410s is the one for me. I am an IT consultant. Price is not the main factor since it is my daily work tool. First, what is the opinion of the T410s? Should I also consider other models? I ruled out the X series, I want an optical drive and the option to pop in a second battery. I'm also torn on W7 32 or 64 bit. I'd prefer 64 bit so I could address more RAM, but am concerned I'd run into too many issues with drivers and various connectivity applications, such as VPNs, Citrix, Verizon air card. I have been running w7 32bit on my T61p, starting with the public beta, and then build 7100. If you have experience with these things I'd appreciate your comments. OK, a couple of specific questions on a T410s build: 1. 128 GB Solid State Drive, Serial ATA. A good choice? Is it fast? I understand not all SSDs are created equal. 2. Which wireless? I do not need WiMAX, but that still leaves four choices. I doubt I'll need A or B, most likely G and N.
