Thinkpads are the antithesis of everything esthetically pleasing in this world...

I mean for fucks sake, they haven't changed the look much in the last 12-15 years.

ThinkPads only good thing is the nipple. Other wise there weak underpowered expensive ugly over heating bastards. (;))

If you want a good valued powerfull but still very portable laptop, id defintly go for the Asus M50SV. Its an excellent laptop.

For $1700:
CPU:      Core 2 Duo T9300 2.5Ghz
OS:         Vista Ultimate
RAM:     2GB DDR2 
HDD:      250GB SATA
Graphic: Nvidia 9500GS
                up to 896MB Turbo Cache
Screen:   15.4” WXGA+ (1440 x 900)
* 2yrs World Wide Warranty * DVD Burner * 1.3MP Web Cam
* BT * Finger Print Reader * WiFi 11 “N”
* Altech Lansing Dolby Speakers
Its one of the fastest laptops in the market currently in its price range :). It uses a Peryn chip (45nm FTW)

For a good price listing with specs:

All prices AU.

Toshiba and LG also make quite good laptops.

i absolutely hate the "nipple". My current thinkpads nipple is all weird and just starts moving on its own...I prefer touch pads, they are much easier to work with.

well prices are different in every country, some places parts/systems are cheaper and some other countries are more expensive. Also seeming as the person who started this thread isnt from Australia, MSY wouldnt help...
