Full review
I have so far been using this notebook for around 4 months. Here are my experiences:

Speed- I use this computer for word processing, internet-surfing, email, music, and running an eBay business. I find this laptop to be more than adequate for these tasks. If running Windows XP/Vista make sure you keep your drive defragmented- this helps a lot.

Look+Feel- This is, of course, what makes thinkpads legendary. The keyboard is simply the best I have ever used. It strikes the perfect balance between clunky and too light. High quality plastic is used throughout, as you would expect, and the screen has plenty of protection behind it. Ways to navigate include both a touchpad and trackpoint, although I would recommend a mouse for long periods of use.

Capacity- The 120GB is more than enough for my needs, although users with huge, lossless audio/video libraries should perhaps look at an external hard drive.

Portability- This laptop weighs around 3kg, which is heavy, but not too bad. Buyers looking for a laptop to take travelling should look at the 14" models.

Extra features- This laptop came preinstalled with Lenovo's superb 'ThinkVantage' suite of programs which includes backup facilities and programs to configure connectivity options. Great stuff. Oh, and it has a keyboard light, which I am using now.

For £399, I think this represents the best entry level notebook on the market. Grab one while you can.
