Review

Pros: * Solid Reputation * Decent Price For Functionality * Long Battery Life rocks
Cons: * Upgrades Can Cause Problems (eg 100GB HD) * Service Lacking * Big for Travel
Bottom Line: Despite my gripes with IBM support I still think the Thinkpad's are a good choice for the business user. Just go a bit lighter if you travel a lot.
