I might need a new laptop...


I might need a new laptop...

Postby damian » Feb 22, 2004 @ 6:33am

...since my 6-year-old Thinkpad occasionally crashes when it gets touched/stressed in certain places. The screen's kinda crapping out too. Budget's a bit tight, only about $800. Any recommendations? I like the fact that my Thinkpad's only 4lbs, so I don't really care for anything huge unless it has the screen/features to back it up. (ex. not an Inspiron 1100) I'm willing to get an older laptop; I'm thinking about a thinkpad T20 or T30 or possibly an older Vaio 505 series, but maybe I should go with something else.

Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

Oh yeah, and I'm still using it. I'll only get a new laptop if this thinkpad craps out completely or starts the whole it's-BSOD-time thing.
