I'm looking at a T42 with 9600 gpu. Mostly for software dev work.

The 'p' model is significantly more expensive. Other than the ability to run CAD software, is there any advantage to the 'p' model for development work?

I guess what I'm asking is, if the 'p' model is noticably faster in day to day operation.

afaik all the p models have 7200rpm drives (that's one thing you'll definitely 'feel') and uxga screens, too...

Not to forget the all importaint faster graphics chipset.

Yes, but isn't it cheaper to upgrade the hard drive and add memory yourself?
If you don't need OpenGL, I don't understand why people buy the expensive 'p' model?
What am I missing?

The fact that you can say "Hey I have a T-42 P!"

They buy it for the 1600x1200. At least, that’s why I did. You can’t get the 15" UXGA screen in a standard T4x.

how much faster is the t42p over the t42?
