I've done a lot of research on notebooks and have settled on the T42 as the best choice. Good performance and value. Daniel's review was also very helpful to confirm this selection.
The last thing I'm grappling with is HDD speed. I'd like to go with the 60GB/7200rpm for performance reasons, but am leary due to some of the postings I've seen about noise and vibration on some of the earlier models (T40 and T41). Does anyone have any feedback on T42s with the 7200rpm drive with respect to noise and vibration?
