I second that. My T400 is rock solid, and I count myself as a very satisfied consumer.

Gobi 1000 is offered in both Verizon and AT&T versions in the U.S. From the Lenovo T400 build page: Integrated AT&T Mobile Broadband (Gobi 1000 3G with GPS) [add $125.00] Integrated Verizon Mobile Broadband (Gobi 1000 3G with GPS) [add $125.00] Additional reference: http://gobianywhere.com/files/gob...

I can speak from experience. I have a new T400 with Windows 7 and the Gobi card - ordered specifically because of its improved GPS performance - and it works great. You do not have to activate the card with the selected carrier. GPS functionality is completely separate/standalone. It will take a few...

My $17 Windows 7 disks arrived yesterday, same packaging as already described. Oddly, my confirmation email sent me to a UPS tracking screen, but the tracking number they provided was not accepted. They arrived via U.S. Mail. I was surprised that Lenovo didn't handle the cost after spending $1800+ o...

Thanks for your suggestions. I had already initiated this procedure - my first stop was Intel for the latest drivers followed by updating Access Connections from 5.01 (shipped with the X200) to 5.02. Additionally, I looked at the RF environoment near my router using NetStumbler (www.stumbler.net) - ...

I would agree with the overall positive opinion about the X200. So far, aside from the Intel 5300 AGN wireless card dropping connectivity frequently (frequently means multiple times daily), it has been a machine that I would recommend to others. No bad pixels and a fast SSD priced right. I have had ...

Count me as another satisfied user of the Samsung 64GB SSD. In conjunction with a T8600 2.4GHz processor in the X200, it provides a great user experience. And the fan is never on.

Another "Samsung only" review not yet cited is:

It is reporting a 5300 in the device manager screen.

Just received my X200 with a Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5300. Since this morning, within a span of 8 hours, it has dropped the connection 7 times (required reconnection through Access Coonnections each time to reestablish network). Prior to receiving the X200, I have been using a TPad X60 tablet in co...

X200 2.4GHz T8600, 3GB RAM, 64GB SSD, 4-cell battery, WIFI 5300, Bluetooth, Vista Business downgraded to XP. Ordered 8/5/08 . first ship date was 8/21/08 Update 1: on 8/21/08 revised ship date to 8/26/08. Update 2: on 8/27/08 revised ship date to 09/09/08 Update 3: ORDER SHIPPED 08/29/08

The logo seems to be the only cosmetic downside - it really subtracts from an otherwise great looking machine.

Note from Moderator: Locking duplicate thread.

I agree... the T61p is fast, well constructed and the screen is bright. I am even starting to like Vista.Count me as another satisfied owner of a T61p.

I would have no hesitation to paying a reasonable amount to upgrade the quality of current offerings.
