so he know wants me to get him a new hdd but he wants a bigger one what size will the think pad able to handle he has 100gb at moment (which is useless)but he would like 250 and above

what would be the ideal hdd for this laptop

There is no capacity limit. Any 2.5" SATA drive for a laptop will work. I think the largest one these days is 640GB.
