Pros: Loaded with features, speedy performance Cons: Keyboard light is fairly useless, no IEEE 1394 (firewire) port, config software could use work
This is my fourth IBM Thinkpad! I've gone from my first Pentium laptop (760 series) to a PentiumII 600X series, next to a PentiumIII T20, and now finally to a Pentium4M T30. All of the T30's predecessors that I've owned have been excellent machines and...
Pros: fast, reliable and professional notebook. Cons: slightly more expensive than other makers models with similar config.
The IBM Thinkpad is well Thought out!
I have been a notebook user since the eighties. The mid-eighties? Yep. Does anyone remember the Apple IIc? It was state of the art with a 128k (not meg) of total memory. From this, I was able to play...
Pros: Incredibly full featured, can't put much more in it Cons: Expensive, heavy-ish

Pros: Reliability. Display. Driver support. Stability. Tech Support. IBM TrackPoint is much better than other Touchpads Cons: HORRIBLE keyboard. TrackPoint center button has been moved. P4 1.8GHz not faster than P3 1.2GHz
I'm a Sys Engineer for a major company. I love ThinkPad's. I've used them all- ThinkPad 600, 600E, 600X, T21, T23. Each one was better that the previous model. I have to say that this T30 is TERRIBLE.
