Finally got my new mobile workstation!! Tell me what you thi
-
Thinkpad T61p mobile workstation
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7700
2GB of 667MHz DDR2 (upgradeable to 4GB)
100GB, 7200rpm HDD
256MB Nvidia Quadro FX 570M
15.4 inches 1680x1050 (poss. higher)
Wireless AGN
integrated Bluetooth
3 year accidental warranty (includes screen)
Win XP Pro~ $1,930
I got this instead of the comparable Sager because the graphics card is optimized for 3D modeling/CAD work, the warranty is better and my roomates dad saved me close to $400 with his employee discount.
I think I chose the best thing... its a good balance of power for doing graphics work without being an 8lb. beast that sounds like a vacuum cleaner when its running (the current absolute max. performance books) . Battery life is short but not an issue for me.
What do people think?

Nice rig, great for 3d.
I see you stayed away from Vista, why?

I figure I'll update to Vista about a year from now when it will be more easily compatible with all of the programs I use (primarily ACAD, SketchUp, Photoshop/Illustrator, 3DS).
I am in grad school for architecture this year and don't want to take any chances with a new OS that I'm not very familiar with/may have compatability issues. I'll also upgrade to 4GB of RAM when I go to Vista.
