I have had many over the years, the latest being a T41p. I bought the 2 GB of ram for it and never have looked back. My battery life is terrible since I never throttle the cpu unless on a plane, but that is my choice. With average settings the battery life is amazing. Not to mention, I have mysql, apache, evolution, browsers (firefox and galeon), 5 or 6 gnome terms, Kate, amarok, gaim and a slew of other apps running non-stop, while also having vmware sessions of different distros (building rpms and debs or kernels) and a slew of other tasks simultaneously. In the evenings, ripping and media tasks take over without a hitch. Not to mention, all of this under 7lbs, supported by acpi and apm (suspend and whatnot), a/b/g wireless(atheros card, madwifi drivers), and at 1400x1050. I also carry around a T23 for testing and mobile server tasks.
