Good, but Designed to true Mediocrity

I came from a cheap HP which was pure heaven with nice clean lines, a wide keyboard, etc.
This laptop is like it was designed by committee with everybody's pet options included. Very fast and seems to be durable. I don't think you would be dissapointed in this.
How's the view from the bottom?

this machine is top notch. best all-around laptop on the market. Deserves nothing less than a 10. I feel like this laptop can run strong for the next 5 years. Thinkpads are simply the BEST!!!
Lenovo versus the rest...

I have had 3 or 4 ThinkPads (and used many other laptops) and I just received a new 15.4" widescreen T60 with C2Duo 2.33GHz, 7200spin 100GB drive, 2GB ram and it is a very nice upgrade from my T42 1.6GHz Banias... Quality is stellar as always. Remember to get the onsite 3 or 4 year spill/drop protection warranty if you are spending that type of coin.
Oddly enough I haven't tweaked it much in the past couple of weeks but it seems to take longer to log in to XP and to boot/wake-up than the older systems did, but the fingerprint reader is flawless this time and VMWare, Linux and other OS's love it and dual-core makes a big diff.
Check out the thinkpads.com T60 forums as I did and you'll find more info than you will ever need. (yes my battery wobbles a very tiny bit and the fan is ever-so-slightly more noisy but overall a VERY good product).
Re: 4GB

Intel 945 based laptops do not really support 4GB of RAM. Sure you can plug in 2 2GB modules, but the upper part of the 4GB (up to 1GB!) is reserved for addressing of other devices. So really, anything above 3GB is pointless since you won't be able to use it anyway. And no, it doesn't matter on the OS.

Wonderful

Lenovo is doing an excellent job of continuing on IBM's tradition of making great laptops.
The T60p may be the last ThinkPad I buy though, since Lenovo now seems to be using Nvidia video chipsets, which are not open-source friendly. That distresses me greatly, but I expect my T60p to last 4 - 5 years, so perhaps things will be better then.
The prices of these are falling now since the T61 series are out, making the T60p an even better buy.
