@waterloo: The T510 is a fine machine. It looks to me to be a good price. My only advice would be to look at how much extra it would be to get 3 year warranty.

Is it worth it for the price?

I'd ask if you like the machine and are happy with the price you paid, why do you care what someone on some internet board you're never going to meet thinks? I'd add it seems pretty decent to me. Worth or value is difficult to determine for someone else, especially someone you just met.

I can't decide if I should wait for the Sandy Bridge or get this .

Thanks for the information.

I'd say unless you're pushing the CPU frequently like coding Blu-rays or crunching Access databases all day, Sandy Bridge will offer you little in terms of a performance gains.

I bought one... Now the waiting game starts
