I received a T420s the other day. Lovely thing, not quite as thin/light as a 
Mac Air, but still way nicer than my T410. 4 pounds, 3/8 oz with battery (vs. 5 
pounds 1¾ oz for the T410).

 

Since the recovery partition is taking 15GB of the precious 160, I decided to 
burn recovery CDs and use Partition Magic to recover the space.

 

It took *ELEVEN* DVDs for the recovery disks!!! I decided to burn a set for the 
T410 at the same time, and it only took five. That’s a lot of crapware!

 

Oh, I also uninstalled the pre-installed Norton, and of course it left 
droppings, including a tray icon. Nice job, that. They should be ashamed of 
themselves. Wow, I guess they are – Googling “completely uninstall Norton” 
found the Norton Removal Tool, which I just ran. Great, and that broke the 
fingerprint reader.

 

To be continued…
