I am glad I am not the underling receiving that hand-me-down beauty

They'll buy me whatever I tell them to buy me. I'm senior management. But I'm not just looking for the latest toy, I'm looking for a machine that will maximize my productivity given my usage patterns over the next 3 or so years before my machine becomes a hand-me-down [after being completely and THOROUGHLY wiped/shredded/etc ] elsewhere in the company.
If you've been happy with the Thinkpad, I'd stick with that brand. I definitely like mine.
