Yeah, I have consider getting the T42P. I can get a laptop with either EPP or a education discount. I can get a fully loaded T43P for under 2k.

Hoya, Thanks for the feedback. That was exactly what i was looking for. Just have to wait til the end of the month for the Z series to come out. If it is nothing like I expect than back to getting a t43p. The t43P is perfect for my application if only they had fixed the fan and heat noise... Jack

Depending on build...I am in.

According to eweeks the z60M is suppose to be around 1500 bucks. If i priced a similar T43 it will run me over 2k.

All speculations right now. Gotta sit tight and see...
