It's a good step up from my T22, which I've been using for about 5
years. I've always been happy with Thinkpads. I got the T22 when it was
about 3 years old for about 250USD. Now I'm back in the market because
the T22 is getting a little slow. The T6[01] are in the 250USD range and
are about 3 years old now, so it's perfect for me running OpenBSD. I
never spend more than 400 for a system.
I love all the wide screen shit! I decided to buy a T61 with Intel
graphics GM965. It has the 15.4" WSXGA+ (1680x1050). I also got the
docking station with a DVI out. I'm not sure if it will run my 24" WUXGA
monitor at it's native 1920x1200 resolution though.
