[masterus]

Hello everyone

I need help..

I bought A31:
- 1,6GHz
- 1GB Ram
- 40GB Hdd
- 32MB ATi Radeon 7500
- 15" 1400x1050
- IBM 802.11b
- CDRW/DVD

Now I have oprtunity to buy T41:
- 1,5Ghz
- 1GB Ram
- 40GB Hdd
- 32MB Ati Radeon 9000
- 14" 1024x768
- Intel 802.11b
- Bluetooth
- DVD


I can buy that directly from Lenovo, price: 600eur.

I use computer to:
- creating multimedia presentation(Flash)
- progamming(Delphi)
- watching DVD movies
- browsing net
- playing games(Chessmaster)

As you can see specification is quite ok except screen and optic drive.
I need your opinion and advice: Should I buy T41 or wait

I need help for this:
1.How much cost replacing XGA to SXGA+:?:
2. Is it difficult process

Thank you very much for all posts

Keep the A31, max the RAM at 2GB, install a faster 7K HD.

For your uses you'll be much happier with the larger SXGA+ display on the A31 than the 14.1" XGA display on the T41.

The processing abilities between the PentiumM in the T41 and the Pentium 4M in the A31 aren't so different as to necessarily make the T41 an upgrade.

Although 600 Euros is an excellent price over there.

Regards,

James
