Re: A short timeline of events (some still in progress)
One of my T20s was run over by an SRT4, has a chunk out of the corner and still works fine.
The other has something stupid like 20 hours on it, still looks brand new, one day it just wouldn't turn on. You want it? Make offer.

Pretty awesome there. I didn't think customer service for any product was still based here...
Magnesium exoskeleton is too pimp for me. I'll end up buying a cheap paper mache exoskeleton netbook for a few hundred.

A box with a new battery arrived yesterday, the laptop with new screen arrived today. The sheet that was resting on top of the laptop says:

Re: A short timeline of events (some still in progress)
I know what I'm buying this tax season.
My pos dell is on it's way out and I only bought it last tax season. ------- screen is broken right next to the ------- swivel point, so now it has lots of jb weld on it, lol. THis piece of crap pretty much sucks as far as taking abuse goes. besides that I have no complaints as it was only $200.
Do you know if I'd be able to swap out hard drives between my d610 and a t43? I bought a 160gb hd not long ago and would like to keep it cus I has lots of **** and stuffs.

Yeah, you can swap HDs, but I recommend ditching the CD tray (I use mine once a year, maybe) and getting one of the Ultrabay HD caddies. Thinkpads are very cool, the CD drive region is called an "Ultrabay" and you can stick nifty stuff in there like second HD or a 3 cell battery. FYI, my T61 with a 9 cell main battery and the 3 cell battery stuffed in the Ultrabay is rated for a solid 8 hour work day with screen and processors turned all the way up. Not shabby.
I'm picking up an X41 for a beater unit to keep the miles off my tuning tool.

I would kill for that kind of battery life... my laptop is ancient (5 years old) and can't hold a charge for longer than 30 minutes. I hate to blow my tax return, but I might look into a new machine.

Battery life will always be a problem with laptops. I don't expect my battery life to be perfect a year later - although I think Lenovo would replace it if you called - I just couldn't deal with a fully charged battery lasting under 10 minutes. Frankly, if it lasted 30 I'd be fine with it.
