Saw this model selling at IT show for $1599. Am thinking of getting it cos it is supposed to be very hardy. But I am not sure since it is a lower range model compared to the standard THINKpad. (it is also retailing windows XP)
What do u all think? Will really appreciate some opinions/reviews as I think I would go down tmrw night again to decide on a purchase. -
i still think a MacBook is good value for money.. but that's me
not sure how long more microsoft is going to support xp now that vista is out... -
Yeah understand but after considering that I can only buy an entry level macbook with my budget plus difficulties of running my children's software on it,(no point running windows O/S on a mac) decided against it eventually.
Apparently when i did research, Lenovo is comparable with Apple when it comes to hardware stability. however, i am worried it only means the high end one.. I wonder how it is for something like the Y400? -
it's basically an IBM and i liked how robust they were (my organisation used the IBMs then)
should be fine

yeah i like how they can tahan spills... and with my kiddos touching it :O it better be robust..Originally posted by the Bear:it's basically an IBM and i liked how robust they were (my organisation used the IBMs then)

only one i've seen that could handle spills and that was more than 4 years ago when Fresh Gear took a bunch of notebooks to task.. it was a Toshiba... but recently, i've read they've gone to heck

Although IBM can take spills and knocks, there's a limit... put it in some safe place.
Also lock the computer (press Ctrl + L) when not in use. This way, they cannot anyhow press and crash anything... -
Thanks mayi...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Oh...

I have just gotten the Lenovo Y400.
however, they told me that all those 'tough' spills and knocks is only for the thinkpad. But I think and hope that while I would not purposely subject the laptop to torment, the lenovo Y400 would still prove to be reasonable durable and work well
