Do bear in mind that A3x generation is *very* heavy and has an absolutely miserable battery life.
Once again, it is my favourite ThinkPad of all times, and I've owned a high three-figure number of them. But it's old. Chances of dying screens and GPUs are fairly high on any machine of this generation. They are quite inexpensive nowadays, though. I still believe that you'd be much better served by a T60/p (or Z61m), or at least a T43/p (Z60m) My $0.02 only...

Yes its long in the tooth but i only need it for a college course to do office 2010. Hence requiring a tall screen if possible. I have my main desktop at home for the usual stuff.
