Introduction
For many years, I was pretty happy with my 600E; it is a excellent laptop, which performs very well running MS Windows OS as well as any UNIX-like I put on it (there were three FreeBSD versions and several Linuxes). However, during my recent trip to Florida I discovered that this platform is not good for long travel:
- it doesn't play DVDs very well
- it eats batteries - two hours is not enough for the four-hour flight from Denver to Ft.Lauderdale
- modern image editing applications such as Canon Digital Photo Professional take too long to execute
Immediately after returning home I started looking around and after careful considerations bought this T40p. There is not much difference between machines in T40-T42 range, especially if you are good with screwdriver; however, T40s are substantially cheaper on eBay.
