now waiting for his reply.

I bought it for 7k X41 will go for 6.6k

yo... T42 user here. super cool laptop. but my bluetooth is not working with my Motorola e680i

How about other bluetooth devices? Can they work with your T42?

yup, the hp can detect T42, but when I need to bond them, or transfer file, the connection always failed.
and it works with other phone like Nokia.

just buy a usb unit.

hmm... yalor, seems like no choice... sien....

Any gaming lappie from IBM ????
it hard for me to find one

Nop. IBM laptops are designed for business use.

Wah, not cheap also... So how is the lappie so far, duocore users?

performance wise its definately faster than single core but if we were to use only for web browsing, typing and music listening there wont be much difference between single and dual core.

Btw, anyone of you guys here heard of the battery drain bug issue? My extended battery can only last me 5hours with USB mouse plugged in. With mouse, i can squeeze 8hours of battery life.

for home user & gaming also not bad lah depends which model mar.

Is the R50e actually more suited for home or business use? Just curious...

I'm using T43 and loving it. Hasn't given any problem. But performance wise, I would say it's very good for business for its stability but if u r a hardcore gamer just get alienware.

ok... everybody said good for bizness.
what do you mean by bizness, specifically what?
do your power point presentation? run your ERP system? process your ten thousand rows of excel data?

what...?

Business users need good portability to travel with it around, long term reliability, and comofortablity in doing presentation and applications like excel.

I think the main issue is also HEAT
my old CLEVO notebook used to burn my lap but my T60 has some temperature trottle to keep it cool.

hi... R52 user reporting in...
model: R52 1858A11 ( bought it in last year )
RAM : 512 DDR2
HD : 40GB ( not enough... )

Top up with:
Seagate Barracuda 200GB hard disk ( unlimited usage~)
Edifier S4.1 ( sounds so sweet but unfortunately no surround sound because lack of sound card)

Thats true... And at least the ThinkPad is not so heavy until it causes backache! The weight is just right to carry around.. But of course if you are loading that thing for hours on end, then it will break your shoulders lah!

And yups, its excellent for word-processing, PowerPoint, Excel, even running not-too-high performance games such as Championship Manager 2006 as well as playing MP3 for hours on end!
