Anyone had a chance to compare this side by side to a Lenovo Thinkpad T400?
I had a Thinkpad T43 as a first thinkpad, right when they sold to Lenovo, so a true IBM thinkpad I suppose. I was REALLY impressed with the build quality, absolutely amazing. Made my previous 2 Dell Latitudes look/feel like a cheap childs toy.
So, upgrade time, just bought the T400 I'm on now...this particular one is a lemon, LOTS of issues, long story short it's getting returned and a replacement is in the build process now and I'm not blaming it on the model, I understand sometimes you just get a bad one; so the next one is in process now.
BUT...
I've noticed the build quality, now that this is 100% Lenovo with no IBM input to this revision, is not quite up to par with my T43...Just seems cheaper in quality, little flex to the body, cheaper plastic materials on it, keyboard isn't even remotely as tight as it is on my T43 etc. So this got me thinking maybe I need to revisit Dell.
Thinking of buying an E6400 and then doing my own direct comparison with the T400 and return which ever one I like least as I'm sure I'll like them both, but wondering if it's worth the hassle?
Anyone seen/used the two side by side? Build quality better with which one? Features? Performance? The price is a wash even though the Lenovo quotes out FAR less than an equivilant Dell on the websites I have a business contact that knocks off about 20% on the retail cost of the Dell making them about the same price.
Any input would be appreciated or websites that have reviewed both of them (can't sem to find any)?
