before i buy this
My school has the following for 1765.00
Thinkpad X40 w/ultrabase Combo Drive
ultrabase has CDr/w&DVD-Rom
12.1" XGA, Pm 758 (1.5 GHz)
512 MB RAM (1 DIMMS)
40 GB HD
Ethernet, 802.11 b/g Wireless Card
internal 56k Modem
Windows XP Professional, SP2
No floppy drive
3 year on site limit warranty with Protection Plus
Wt. 2.6 lbs. w/o base
Seemed like a good deal until i realized this was the X40 and not the X41, which is the new one. I read a post on here that said buying the newest stuff isn't often economically effective so i figured this would be ok. This is not really for poker so the 12.1", 1024x768 screen isn't the end of the world. Im looking for a mobile laptop i can take with me as im all over the place during the day and i heard IBM was the way to go.
Any advice is appreciated.
