Hi

I'm having a hard time deciding which thinkpad to buy.
I narrowed it down to T42 2378-FVU for $1401 or T43 187186U for $1494. I'd jump on T43 but I heard some bad reviews about its graphic card. Screen size is not important to me.
So, I'll really aprreciate it if anyone can give me some information to help me decide. Thanks

I would go with the 2378-FVU for $1401, but I would upgrade the warranty to 3 years instead of 1 year.

The 1871-86U is an unproven model, and I don't think it is worth the extra weight to go to a 15" display for only a 1024x768 resolution. And you are correct - the Intel GMA900 is weak compared to the Radeon 9600. Most people don't care, but if you want to play some 3D games, the Radeon will be worth it.

I agree. T42.
