QUOTE(V3000 @ Apr 3 2007, 05:57 PM) Bro, 3 years is a long time if use it everyday (Senior Lappy!!).. i got a silly question.. did your LCD ever fail you for past 3 years? I really worry bout this couse LCD really cost alot well LCD is fine so far...The only thing that gave way was the DVD-ROM drive - After 1.5 years And the original 6 Cell Battery Died out after 2 years..... Cross my fingers... so far so good... anyways.. I believe the thinkpads were built like a tank... One nifty feature that I love about the think pad compared to other lappys is the "thinklite" an LED that lights up ur keyboard if u r using in he dark |
