I've had my t42 for almost a week now and I gotta say I just love it! coming from a dell inspiron 8200, this little baby is 10 times the machine, not just in performance but in everything, I had it downstairs in my lap for 3 hours last night and it wasnt even warm!

I'm a thinkpad owner for life.

That's great that you love and that you are enjoying your ThinkPad!

I love all of the ThinkPad's!
Have a great time with your T42!

That's fantastic Combustion, the Thinkpads are sweet machines! (I can't wait till I get hands on my 2378-FVU next week, it's in NY right now and I'm in Canada >.<)

Btw, which model do you have? I think we'd all like to know

I almost got a vaio, I narrowed it down to t42, asus m6n or vaio s270... very happy with my final decision.

T42 2378FVU is awesome, I just added 512 ram and IBM internal Bluetooth and could'nt be happier.

I love your Thinkpad, too. But I love mine better. :-) It's something like the 7th laptop I've had, and the best by far. Before I got it, I considered the Vaio 505. My wife then got issued one as her work computer, and boy, am I glad I didn't get one!!!! Lots of plastic, rotten keyboard, not that small, with a tiny screen.

Some models have bluetooth antennas built in. All you need to do is to purchase the bluetooth/modem combo CDC and just replace the current modem only card.

Yes, thats what I did. If you do it, also order the Bluetooth indicator plastic strip. The Bluetooth indicator light is already in the LCD pannel. The Bluetooth Icon even shows up on the Fn F5 window. Everything is exactly as though it came from the factory with Blutooth and it works great.

I ordered it over the phone through IBM parts dept.
