Macdef, you have some major beef with me or something, the T40 IS the best laptop you can buy, it is expensive, but with that you get the best support in the world, the best display in the world (the 1400X1050 is the best currently in laptops), the highest reliability, the smallest, fastest laptop, and incredible battery life (6+ hours), and the happiness of owning a product that is far superior to any other on the market, I would know, I have used pretty much every laptop on the market in the US (everything from picturebook to ibook to inspiron to powerbook)...I'd have to say that apples are far superior to what they once were (old powerbooks shut off because of poor venting of heat) but still cannot attain the quality of an IBM laptop, the Thinkpad line has always been known as the best, and will always be the best, if you don't want it, or you don't need it then that's your decision, but you cannot compare the T or X series to anything apple has, the 14 hour battery life of the newest X is the highest current battery life in any notebook, and the T40 is the only laptop in it's class to use a 9.5mm drive, making it the smallest, fastest, and most reliable laptop ever created (except in speed compared to those area 51m's in gaming...), IBM makes laptops/notebooks for business users, apple's main audience is the basic consumer, not needing any of IBM's special things, like RapidRestore, which works very well, if you don't like IBM you don't have to bash their products, Apple's are very good, I was stating what the best current laptop was, not saying it was better or worse for differing needs, the T40 IS superior to the iBook, and that's to be expected, both are excellent products, and I recommend them both wholly, but ranting and being an ass over something is nothing to be proud of, it is disgraceful
, 5/5 unhappy faces agree that you need to be open to opinions and not bash things!
The IBM eraser head is far more acccurate in my opinion, I went to compusa the other day, and all of the apple's had bad 'trackpads', HP's and Compaqs also have bad 'trackpads', but I like eraserheads better
...are they actually trackpads??
The difference:
Touchpads: you can tap the surface of the pad to 'click'
Trackpads: do not have this capability
Until you have used pretty much every computing product available, you have no reason and or ability to argue with me, as a person who has used a bigger variety of stuff than anybody I know, I should have far superior knowledge, and I find that I do in most cases, unless you can attain a superior knowledge base than I have, I feel that your statements are extremely biased and have no base for their extreme blasphemy!
...and if you don't like the T40, take it out with all the places that think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread (pcmag...pcworld...)
Oh Yeah!, forgot to add that IBM Thinkpad's have always been known for the fact that they have the best keyboards in a laptop/notebook computer
