Thinkpads Forum

hey guys my new thinkpad t510 just came to my dorm today. this thing is rock solid. no display flex, it feels like a brick, especially when its closed. the keyboard is a DREAM to type on. i am completely sold on this line of notebooks. never going back to what i *thought* was the premium notebook line(alienware). My ram came yesterday from newegg so heres my stats

core i5 @ 2.93Ghz
8gb pc-8500
500 gig 7200rpm hd
quadro nvs 3100 512mb
3 year warranty.

this feels like a MANS notebook(not a DUDE, your getting a dell! or that other fruity brand).

Cons: the battery sits a little loose and yes theres the infamous left palmrest creak but the only reason i noticed is because i had read about it before. arggggggg i love THIS NOTEBOOOOOOK!!!!

dude, congrat! how much got it for, including sales tax? by the way, why buying ram from newegg is a good idea? thanks.

it was $1299 new plus $250 for the ram. i just bought it from newegg because ive bought from there before. the ebay store didnt charge me sales tax.

I'm just curious, for what do you need 8GB RAM? What memory intensive applications do you run? 8GB RAM is quite a lot and pretty expensive, after all.

hey, just curious whether you have fhd on your T510? thanks.

8gb ram is for multiple instances of SUSE i need to run for some classes. it wasnt that expensive after i sold the default ram sticks on ebay.
