absolutely. I was (and still am) using a T42p and now I have a X301
which is just great.

I'm happy with my i5 ThinkPad T410 with Intel HD Graphics.

I have problems with the Realtek 8191SE wireless network
device. The Realtek driver built but didn't appear to
support scanning for wireless networks.
(I didn't manage to get ndiswrapper working.)

I'm curious - everyone has always seemed to love ThinkPads, but I've
never understood what exactly makes them so popular. I'm not
disagreeing or challenging - I've never used one, and I just want to
understand why everyone swears by them.
