Hola? Answer is obvious if you search. :wink:

T43p has the strongest graphics. Although if graphics is your bag the T60p is purported to be much, much better. Although you didn't list is as an option. It's availablity isn't as plentiful and it uses different acccessories than the T4x.

Happy hunting!

There can be no opinions on the strength of the video card. What Aroc said is what it is.

Battery life probably depends much more on other components than on the video card. As such, the T42p is probably going to get the best battery life, due to the Dothan CPU.

As for "which fails the most", I guess the most you can say is that they fail so rarely, that you can't really get any reliable data here. Nothing to worry about.

The video card on the T41p and the T42p is exactly the same (which is the same you have in your custom T40 128mb FireGL T2). So doesn't make much sense to upgrade from a T41p to a T42p unless you want a 15" LCD.
