WTB: ThinkPad T4x0/T5x0 or similar ---

#1 Post by Lockheed » Fri Dec 21, 2012 12:02 pm

After going ThinkPad once, I can't go back. But it is time to upgrade, because my current R61 turned out to be an Nvidia-lemon.

So I was thinking of T510 or T520 (or maybe T4x0, but the screen might be small) with high-res matt screen, i5 and 4-8gb ram.

What I need:
- matte screen or high resolution (no low-res please, and no visible dead pixels/spots)
- at least i5. I do a lot of multitasking so need the cores
- CANNOT OVERHEAT. I had it with overheating laptops
- good battery performance (unless it's the same battery model as for 15.4" R61)

What I would like:
- ultrabay HDD caddy would be nice
- fingerprint reader would be nice

It will have to be posted, so PayPal. And I have to receive it before the 6th January 2013.
T420s - i7, 16GB RAM, Samsung 850 EVO + 1TB Hitachi 9.5mm, Nvidia, Oleh Bios.
W500 - C2D P9500, 8GB RAM, Samsung 830 SSD + 750GB Hitachi HDD, Intel+ATI GPU, bright WUXGA, FP-reader
Arch Linux, BTRFS+ZFS on LUKS

I have a t420 with an i5 and 8gb of ram, just its pretty low res, works great with an external monitor though!
