Post Lenovo T410

Hardware problems on my (now vintage) Thinkpad T43p are forcing me to have to retire it and Im now in the market for a new laptop. Im seriously considering a Lenovo T410 so Im hoping there are a couple of FTers out there that have one of these and can give me some feedback...

Im especially interested in experiences & reliability of hard drives, Im looking to get a model with a 500GB 7200rpm drive which I will assume is a proven workhorse.

As I like to hold on to laptops for a while, Im considering coughing up the extra bucks to get an i7 processor.... is the additional $$$ worth it to get the Ultimate 64 version of Windows or should I just go for a more standard version of the OS...?

Also, can someone explain to me what this integrated mobile broadband is...? Can you just pop in any SIM card from any carrier and use the carrierīs 3G network or how does this work...?

Thanks,
