@DIGITALgimpus---> I feel your pain w.r.t IBM service. But it is glad to note that IBM eventually turned things around and owned up to their mistakes, by sending you a replacement and a good one at that. I would literally go crazy if IBM takes so long to get my TP repaired and shipped. Might even co...

I have a 2687DVU, don't know how different is mine compared to yours w.r.t wireless hardware. I have the same setup as yours and I consistently get close to 400 to 420 kilobytes/sec download speeds (thats around 3.2 MB/s). It has to be with your hardware, can you check with any other wireless adapte...

You should definitly make the rescue/recovery CDs regardless. And yes, this is how you would recover all applications. I suggest you to follow the thread of reinstalling your softwares without the recovery CDs. You will have ALL IBM softwares without loosing 4GB++ for the hidden partition, and for ...

I second this!

If you plan on using your TP for a couple of years get a TP with wireless/bluetooth and FP reader, again this totally depends on your budget!!

It's just personal preference! I did a cost benefit analysis while buying and since the difference was less than $50 between a 14.1" and 15" screen, I went with the 15" which also has FlexView (I am not sure whether the 14.1" has it or not). The bottomline is you will not go wrong with either one, i...

1) Waterfield ---> Hands-down this wins!!!!

2) Booqbags
3) Tombihn (can be 4, based on personal choice)
4) Crumplerbags (can be 3, based on personal choice)
5) Zeroshock, CaseLogic and any other generic brands!
