I am just so tired that every single time an article about a ThinkPad is published oin this site, all of the comments are about these things. It is lame, annoying, and quite old. If you really want get off on bashing a ThinkPad, relive your glory days by reading all of the old ThinkPad aticles. They contain all the same shit you guys would talk about on this article anyway.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/
The bigger story is that the T43p gets much worse battery life than the model its replacing (T42p): about an hour less. It always amazes me how reviews miss basic information like this. Ever seen a laptop review include comments about the dock? No? Me neither, yet most laptops in this part of the market are purchased with docks.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/- DVI out
- What is up with the parallel port?
- Firewire would be nice
- some sort of XBrite like techonlogy for the screen
- a better graphics card (personal preference)]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/
Is there a suggestion of something that would meet those requirements AND have the quality, and support of a Thinkpad?

I am considering an Acer TravelMate 8100-series, but the support/warranty is lacking from what I can tell compared to the thinkpad's. But it is a bit cheaper...]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/
It seems pricey until you look at the spec, try finding another machine with a 7200rpm hard drive and 128mb video card that's built this well and doesn't have one of those trendy widescreens that reflect glare so badly and have very little "normal" screen space to play with.

I just wish you could buy/configure them from the Lenovo/IBM site, but they don't have the "p" models on there.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/29/lenovos-biometric-enhanced-thinkpad-t43p-reviewed/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AM
