Thinkpads Forum

I was cruising eBay looking for great used buys in maybe a t60p with FLEXVIEW and I got distracted to the thinkpads link to Lenova where there seem to be fabulous deals on (gasp!) NEW computers. Like the 16" T400, and this new Ideapad machine.

I don't know what to get.

I like a nice screen for watching TV and movies (like my widescreen T60), and sometimes I like a smaller lighter unit for portability (like my T40).

Any suggestions or helpful ideas?

Tough to say unless one knows what exactly you're looking for...

T60p with IPS, if you can find it at reasonable price, is always a good idea.

If you need a powerhouse, and don't care too much about LCD quality, T400/500, R400/500 and W500 should all fit the bill...but these might get even cheaper as the time goes by.

As for a small machine...at its current price range, X60 is a tough one to beat...

My $0.02 only...
