The immediate predesesor to the upcoming T400/T500 units (the T61 .... and also the X61 units) was intentially factory crippled to prevent any audio recording from sources other than the mono-mic .... i.e. no stereo recording from your own music compositions, CDs, gaming, video recording, internet radio, etc.

IBM's older T42/T43 and Levono's T60 had no such audio recording restrictions.

If the audio recording restrictions of the T61 are carried over to the T400/T500, would you still consider purchasing such a unit?

We're not going to have multiple polls on this subject. You can't get people to vote in the ones you've already got up.

You guys need to get together and decide what question you're asking and post ONE poll. Then I'll lock all the rest.
