So far I have had no problems and that fact that it ... ...This version of the ThinkPad is pretty similar to the rest of the laptops in the series.

Akpufni
Advantages: Very practical
Disadvantages: Not as nice as the new ones
Very practical. I own one of these. For production its probably your workhorse type machine. Does advanced graphics work obviously but for the average person this machine is very practical. it has all features that any geek will require too. You will of course run itno the occasional snag with computers where the latest requires you have a g5 but that is usually on the software you really do not need. There is a feel on the key board as with macs ...
