is this a good buy? http://sellout.woot.com/offers/lenovo-t ... e-laptop-4 i have an old ibm/lenovo thinkpad and the thing was bulletproof. it's just slow now because it's from 2007 i think, and I can't really upgrade it to make it faster. i really like the keys that aren't loud and it just is a nice computer. i want something that's going to feel the same but obviously perform better. |

Definitely a good price and thinkpads are built very well. I can't speak for that AMD processor though, never used one although it's a decent speed. It could use more memory but that's about it and memory is cheap. |

Agreed. Make sure you can upgrade that RAM. Windows 7 is going to run like dogshit with only 2. |

You'll be able to start windows and not do too much more...you'd definitely want to get at least 4 or 6Gb in there. It says it's expandable to 8Gb so you should be fine. |

I just bought my first PC with an AMD processor in years, and lo and behold, it shit the bed after a couple weeks. |

Real men play FreeCell. Also, XC, I'm with ya. I'll never go back to AMD. |

I've never had problems with AMD chips. Used to have a ton of machines with XP1800s. Then, went to an X2 4400+ for a LONG time. Probably 4 years on that machine. Only when I built my current i7 did I go back. |

Only when I built my current i7 did I go back. The i-series in general has been awesome for Intel. My laptop uses an i5, but I want to build a desktop with an i7. |
