Yes, I need another one :-P

RipperDoc

null So, I’m now a proud owner of yet another laptop computer. This time it’s a real monster computer, IBM Lenovo Thinkpad Z60m{.broken_link}, but let me first motivate this decision, which cost me in the neighbourhood of 12500 HKD/SEK.

…

Well. There’s not much reason. I was persuaded by my new found friend Patrick. I don’t need another computer, but it was so cheap! I couldn’t resist the offer. A widescreen laptop capable of playing the latest games for such a low price! It’s not even available in the rest of the world for a couple of months. To hell with my 1-year-old leased IBM T41 (which I still have to pay for). Call me crazy, but I had to do this. I mean, I can actually use the computer during this year and then probably sell it with profit when I get back to Europe!

So, the computer? You want to know more about it? It is too new to be found on the IBM web site, so here it is:

Du är galen du 😉 Men coolt! =) Du får väl köpa några till då innan du åker hem, som du kan sälja med vinst ;P

Hehe.. ja, jag är helt övertygad om att du behövde en ny dator! =) Det är väl nästan så att det är värt 12500 kronor bara för att få USB 2.0 att fungera? 😉

Du vill bara göra mig avis! Men sedan såg jag att det är en IBM. ,-)

(okay dårå – jag är avis… jag vill också konsumera!)

Okej, rätt okej innehåll. Bra för de pengarna antar jag. Lite för stor för min smak. ~12″ ska det ju vara!

Ha inte sönder den med en gång nu.

can you give us a review of your machine? how do you like the keyboard? and display? thanks!

I will write a thorough review of it, however it hasn’t been delivered yet (to my great dismay). As I’ve understood it, the model is so new that I won’t be ready from the factory until october. So return here in a month and I’ll hopefully have a review freshly served!

(I can in advance say that I’m now using an IBM T41, and that I’ve had no problems with it except problems getting USB 2.0 to work. So in my opinion, IBM in general has both really good keyboards and displays.)
