I went all out a few weeks ago and decided to buy a new laptop. I decided to get an IBM (Lenovo) T60p model number 2623-DDU. Here are the specs:

· T2500 2.0GHz Core Duo processor with Intel Virtualization Technology

· 100GB 7200RPM hard drive

· 1GB Ram PC2-5300 667Mhz

· 15" UXGA (1600x1200) Flexview screen utilizing IPS technology

· ATI FireGL V5200 with 256MB

· Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network card, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth

· Verizon CDMA 2000 1X EV-DO Wireless WAN card

· It weights in at 6.4lbs with the 9-cell battery.

 

I was a bit afraid at first that the high resolution would make the text too small but I was wrong. The screen is absolutely amazing. It looks great and the viewing angle is far better than my old laptop. A few people online have had problems with stuck/dead pixels but I think that I escaped that problem.

I haven’t done much actual work on it yet or watched any movies but my initial impression after the first 24 hours is that this is defiantly a keeper. If I get a change I’ll post a more comprehensive review after I get everything setup and I use it a bit more.
