T400 if you are tuning, T500 otherwise.  T61 is used, most are out of warranty.  T500 is too big for tuning.

Hot chick who did my EKG had a t400. I was almost mroe interested in it than her.

A true player would have set up a three way.

thanks bigwig for the link, i just bought a t500.  I dont need the laptop for much, just internet browsing and running normal programs, i just wanted it to be sturdy and reliable.  You can always trust RHMT for honest truthful blunt answers

5 dollars paypal to someone who finds me the best deal on a computer, what is better t400 t500 or t61?  it needs to be teh m4j0r qu1x on teh pr0nnnn

T400 if you are tuning, T500 otherwise.  T61 is used, most are out of warranty.  T500 is too big for tuning.  Buy new, experience a high quality product that is a joy to use and a no-nonsense warranty if anything goes wrong.  If you like the warranty you can extend it at any point prior to it's lapse - I went to with mine, but dropped the ball like a balding failure.

BTW If you are into gaming you'll want to go another direction, my standard vid card T61 is great for WOW and trash like that but the drafting/CAD oriented video card upgrades available for T-series aren't gaming rigs. 

HOw do those t400/500 compare to the t4x series?? I have a t42 that I bought during the summer and it's been badass so far. ONly drawback is the super small hard drive.

I'm looking to buy another laptop soon so I can have 1 laptop as a dedicated tuning laptop.

All the T-series have had metal exoskeletons, which are why they are stout.  Starting with the T60, the screen has a magnesium cage around the back of it designed to have a big guy hit it with a baseball bat without hurting the screen's functionality.  Starting with the T61 there are drain holes in the keyboard - you can spill a drink on it and the drink will drain through the holes into your lap without touching circuitry.  Also, anything T60+ with a dual core processor will stomp the living shit out of a P4 based T3x/T4x, you would be very happy.

My T61 has an 80 gig HD, I thought it was going to be fine for a dedicated tuning laptop, but the recent 2009 edition of OnDemand5 is 74 gigs so there goes that bullshit idea.  IDK but I also see no reason why it wouldn't, if the T4/500's are like the rest of the T-series family (including my T61) the CD drive is actually an "Ultrabay" and you can remove it to hotswap a second HD, or a floppy drive, or another battery pack.   It's probably the way I should go.

People still use floppy discs?

Some software tries to make you use them to install their software.
