Hi,
How's the ThinkPad quality after acquired by lenovo?
I know a lot of business people use Thinkpad. I am a uni student and using macbook pro now. Any reasons why i should consider buying thinkpad for my next laptop?

Thanks in advance.

Lenovo is stll 1 of the trusted brand which hardly have LCD Screen issues. Therefore i still prefer it much more than any other brand. Worth buy if you can get student/corporate deals.

naruto13 > X201/s and X200/s series have similar keyboard.


westwest1 > X201s $2999.
X201 start from $2680 to $3000, depending on specs.


Edling > X201 Tablet $3299. this price one no Finger-touch display (can use stylus only). have higher specs with finger-touch but need to indent. to the users they dun mind no fingertouch since using stylus is more accurate.


XxGaiaxX > did you try using Fn + F6? or use any video/pic capture program like google's piacasa etc

How about T410 ?

@ those who bought the T410 from poly, can i check something with you guys ? does the 4 year warranty have international coverage, mainly in the US ? i'm planning to ask a poly friend to help me purchase one and since i travel alot, this is a major concern for me.

thanks.

wait so what should i be looking at ? 4 year on site local (whatever that means lol) or 3 year international ? its either this or the x201. definitely a thinkpad, though. i've had nothing but good experiences with thinkpads since my first laptops. only laptop that i've ever used that has a keyboard that feels completely solid.

ps anybody else noticed the flex issue with the T410's lid ? it doesn't seem to be as solidly built as the rest of the body. not sure if its a isolated incident, but it did manage to get my attention in record time. or maybe i'm just too anal about such things

I just got my T410 few days back. I was also concern about that lid issue and the high pitch noise. There are always design issue that you might hate. I also have the E6400, these two machines are not perfect. But they serve their intended purpose to increase our productivity.

Definitely international warranty if you are going overseas. What flex issue are you referring to? Can you elaborate? I sold some recently but none of my customers reported any issues.

Another point that you may want to take note is that these poly units may not come with a wwan antenna built into the LCD bezel (can someone confirm this?) so it will not be possible for you to upgrade your Thinkpad with mobile broadband in future. Do check it out first before you commit. Hope this helps.
