Which is better R50p or T42p?

[e_motek]

I am in the market to buy a ThinkPad; however, at this time having a tough time deciding on T50p or T42p.
Can anybody let me know which and why?

Regards

Personally I think it depends on the kind of user you are, what features you want, and how much money you can afford. I prefer the slimmer look and like to lie on the couch and write code, so I like the T series since it's lighter weight than the R series.

When the laptop is in your bag, the weight difference isn't much of a factor.

I think the T42P is the better one.

Once I ask one of my friends who have been. repairing the IBM laptops for suggestion on which serious of IBM laptops should I buy for Gaming.
He suggestion the T42p 2373KXM.

but really it is up to you what are your needs and expectation from they laptop you want to get.
