Thinkpads Forum

I sadly have to give up my beloved ThinkPad T500 for a MacBook. A little info:

I am a well known computer person at my church. I have had many people ask me for help with their computers. Well, someone there asked me if I had a need for a MacBook (which I do, school use), and I said yes. They have a MacBook Late 2008 model that they want to trade for my ThinkPad, since they would rather use a PC because of their job being centered around PCs. I do arts and music at my school, and my school's Macs are horrible. 1GB RAM, Core 2 Duo 2GHz, running Lion (recommended 2GB RAM, 2GHz Core 2 Duo). They are insanely slow. I use software like Garageband, so they will not cut it for me. So, I have decided that it is time to give up my ThinkPad. I will probably buy another one later on, there is a shop near me that I bought mine at for $170 after a trade in value of $30. If I get the money, I will definitely buy another one. Maybe I will find a T510 or better, so I have an i5.

Actually my plan is to triple boot OS X Mountain Lion (until Mavericks comes out), Windows 7, and Ubuntu.
