Im a die hard fan of IBM laptops. I have never used anything other than Big Blue laptops since the 1990s. Overall, I have to say that they are top notch, although my latest (and current) machine has been quite a lemon. I have a fully loaded T30 and have had a number of issues, including a zapped motherboard, modem issues, and now Im having boot problems...

I hate to think I may have to dump IBM, but Im very close to the end of my patience. My latest issues are related to a Smart Card reader...

Ive just read a review on the T41 and unfortunately, it doesnt look very good. Who knows, maybe these things will be addresses by years end when they introduce the a new moder (perhaps the T50?).

Here is the review:
