If ur planning to stare at the screen for prolonged hours, go with a matte surface instead of a glossy surface for all the reasons stated above.

If ur gf's worried about the looks, check out the Sony Vaios. Fujitsu's pretty good too though a little pricey but it's definitely reliable. I'd never used an IBM before but my sister (she's currently using the T60) has nothing too nice to say about it *shrugs*

Er, just a question but how do we check temperature of our lappies? *g*

Might I ask, just what do u people do that makes the lappie overheat?!

Er.. we'll never be satisfied with what we have so go on complaining... go on......

jdreamer,
It sure is.... but well, perhaps one thing we ought to learn is to stop complaining too much

death_nite,
Okies dokies U got a point. I don't want to end up being a spammer. Anyhow, I didn't have any issues when I was using my Fujitsu and I didn't install or get additional fan cooler or whatchamacall those fanciful stuff *g*

Must admit I could hear the fan running when it's been switched on for too long or when I'm 'abusing' the unit with loadsa multi-tasking but otherwise it's perfect. Can't check temperature since I don't have those programs mentioned installed, SoweeZzzZz...

No problems with temperature / heat issues on the MacBook Pro though

shirohamada,
Don't u find the ThinkPads a little heavy?!

iYoh.. wanna play game then get a desktop lah..... I don't think a laptop's as good as a desktop when it comes to performance for games, no?

Anything and everything that OVERheats sure rosak lah!

ozak,
I'm a n00b when it comes to all these but uh, so far the last few lappies I used, other than the 1st one I had was pretty girl, no complains
