New T43 duu on order, and new to the forum
Hello all! Just ordered a DUU T43, and also have a R52 1849. Just lik to commment how valuable this forum is! I'm still waiting on my T43, (two weeks, still packing) I'm actually a Mac user at home, but use IBM's for my work. I have to admit, the software that comes with thinkpads is fantastic, this is the first time that I've found a windows machine that actually allows a network backup to my imac, and was able to restore my R52 from. I actually feel that for the first time, I've found a windows based notebook that has the best software period. Thanks to all for the information, and its nice to read a forum that is intelligent, and loaded with information. Keep up the good work!

I'm a 2686-NAU user as of today. I do use Mac's on the side too, as well. I couldn't be happier. I hope when you get your DUU you are as happy as I am. Good Luck
And a thanks to all those who helped me out with my own decision, as well!

Hello all again! Levono suprised me today, my T43 DUU arrived today. Intitial impressions:
Keyboard is fantastic! alot better than my R52
I can't beleive how light this thing is
No fan issues what so ever, whisper quiet
The build quality is top notch. no creaks or flexing
the finger print software was a breeze to set up
the speakers are great for what I need. I had a old HP V2000 awhile back, and every time I put my cingular edge card and connected with it, I had to mute the speakers, it sqealed due to no RF shielding.
The T43 is dead silent connecting with my cingular card.
All in all, I'm glad I spent the extra to upgrade to the T43.
My R52 is gonna be used around the house now, rather than going with me on the road.

You can look it up yourself in Tabook.pdf. ThinkPad: Personal Systems Reference
You can also google the model numbers, ie: 2686-DGU and 2686-DUU to find information.
