Bought a new laptop today!
IBM Thinkpad T60. Dual core CPU's @ 2GHz clockspeed, and 1 Gig of RAM. Best keyboard EVER!

Also, beats the living daylights out of any Crapintosh out there!!!

1. Mind me asking how much?
Miz t. and my daughter want to get me one for Christmas, but I'm a cheapskate, even with other people's money.

2. Sure

Customize. I would say that my system is in the $1600 range, with the sales going on. A couple of months back it would have gone for $2200+...

3. crapintosh?
You only say that because you have yet to behold the glory that is a Macbook Pro.

I got a new laptop a couple of weeks ago ... Toshiba P105-S9722, Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 200GB HD, 256 MB dedicated VRAM.... etc. I know how you feel. It's a marvelous feeling, a new laptop.

My new MacBook Pro should be here... shit. In a couple of weeks?

Both are replacements for my original 2 laptops that were stolen a few months ago. I made out VERY well in this deal.


Don't forget to get your Windows Updates! :)

7. Huh?
Seems like there's a bit of an insult buried in there somewhere, but I'll ignore it.


Congrats again on your new laptop! :thumbsup:
