Anyone have an IBM Thinkpad? - GoFuckYourself.com

Young · 08-29-2005, 10:32 PM

I have an HP DV1040 which is a complete piece of heavy multimedia laptop shit. I need something to take with me on the go.

I'm looking for something thin, lightweight, and with some good processing power with not much extra crap. Only thing I need really is wireless internet card, and a cd burner for backing up files. This thing is going to be used for site updates (HTML, light Photoshop, light Premier).

Anyone have any experiences with IBM thinkpads? Or is there a better way to go? I'm a cheap ass so I'm looking for a cheap solution.

Thanks

Until I saw the cheap bit I was going to suggest one of the Sony sub-notebooks.

Very nice bit of kit... but def not cheap.

Well I should have said cheapest solution. If its worth the money then I wouldn't have a problem paying. This HP that just crapped out on me def wasn't worth the 1800 i paid for it.

Mine got stolen a few weeks ago, was a ThinkPad T40, p-m 1.6 ghz, 1 gig of ram, cisco 802.11b wireless, light less then 5 pounds, about 4 hours of power. Great little machine, I miss it

I have a Thinkpad R51. Works perfect for me!

i have a t41p, not cheap but its great. light weight, small and does 1400x1050. no complaints. Sony's are cool looking but if you move them alot they fall apart quick. Me and a partner bought ours at around the same time and his sony is basically fucked while my ibm is mint except for a scar when i dropped it drunk (which alone means alot, the hd survived).
