Plan to get the Intel G2 X25-M and use the above HD in the ultrabay..

edit: yes, realize the 4gb won't be seen fully but why not have an extra gb now when/if I switch to 64bit OS - Lenovo's discount is significantly cheaper than market atm for DDR3

Thanks!! I am not with it this morning I guess!

I am very tempted... These thinkpads arn't exactly great lookers though eh?

I wonder what the battery life would be like?

You know there's an option to get the 64bit OS on the customize page right?

I've played with win7 x64 and had found a lot of difficulty in getting a lot of custom s/w to work... so for now 32 it is.

Interesting note for you guys considering the I5:

With its 2.53-GHz Intel Core i5-540M, the ThinkPad T410 produced some of the best performance scores we’d ever seen. On PCMark Vantage, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall system speed, the notebook scored a whopping 6,937, which is more than double the thin-and-light notebook category average of 3,467 and over 1,000 points higher than the ThinkPad T400s (5,893) which has a 2.53-GHz Core 2 Duo SP9600 CPU. The score was so high that it nearly matched the HP EliteBook 8440w (6,975), a mobile workstation that features a higher-end 2.66-GHz Intel Core i7-620M. (from laptop mag)

Its a really tough decision for me - I mean price/value wise the Thinkpad really trumps all. The competition is pretty steep though, there is also the Studio 14 from Dell, Asus K42JR (which has the advantage of a 2 year warranty, Good Video card, and leading reliability), Samsung R480 (better video card, but I have no idea about the quality), Big thing with the Lenovo is that it has a i7-620 (pretty beefy processor, but will it hurt the battery life vs the T410's with the i5's?)... Any opinions??

[noxe2]

I have been considering either the ThinkPad or the Studio XPS 16, for now only thing Dell has to this machine is the screen and 'cool' factor, spec/feature-wise, can't beat the ThinkPad with this coupon and prices.

Can't seem to find much information regarding this, but whats the difference between the T410

14.1" WXGA+ LED screen

vs

T510 's

15.6" HD AG LED w/WW Ant

Is this price error hot? Or just hot? I'm not buying a Lenovo unless it's price error hot.
