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.
If you're a student you should also consider a Tablet PC, such as the
X40t/X60t/X200t series. (For clarification: not a "tablet" like the iPad or
android tablets, but a notebook with a digitizer.) This is the only kind of
computer I allow my students to use in class. I've seen the X61t available
refurbished for under $600 from dealers who will ship to the UK; this was
the last Thinkpad tablet to come in a 4:3 screen, and some came with a
1400x1050 IPS screen.
DR
I have my main desktop at home for the usual stuff.

youngest one will be 8 years old by Christmas time, so they're getting a
little long in the tooth.
Typing on one right now, and yes, they are adorable, but not as the only
computer.
