Well, I've finally made my choice on which laptop to buy.
It's going to be a Lenovo Z61m

Now just gotta wait for it to be announced (May or June) and wait for the resellers in Malaysia to get a hold of it.

The T60 is quite a good laptop as well, but nobody seems to stock it. Better to get the wide screen edition which is the z60m but it's not core duo. So better to wait for the z61m (the core duo version) All the thinkpads have superbly sturdy bodies, good physical security and data security and good warranty as well. Cost is a little higher though. Gotta upgrade to International warranty to 3 years or so.

IBM warranty is international either for 1 or 3 years.

But no matter which one you buy, it's international. That's why you don't need to worry where you buy the unit from.
