Duration of ownership: 10 Days

Strengths: Extremelly well designed and manufactured. The best keyboard. Portability and support.

Weaknesses:Display resolution. Lack of some ports.

Overall Evaluation: I received my thinkpad last week and I´m surprided with the high quality of this machine. I intend to use it for basic business work and light entertainment at home, no huge gaming... however. So this equipment suits well enough my needs and surpases all the expectatives I had berfore buying.In the last 4 months I had an Acer 4001, and a Tecra A4 and had to resell them because of some insatisfaction I had with those machines especially in issues as: solidness, endurance and confort in long work hours. So I am sure this Thinkpad will be with me until a new and high differentiating quality change in IT industry makes me move into anopther direction. And I believe this won´t be happening in at least two years.I am worried only on the change to Lenovo. Heve you seen already the new Z60t ? It looks like a **** son of the family (no offense...) but it is a mixture of different design trends, componenets and manufactureship that are degenerating the largely and stutbornly preserved caracteristics of the brand... will signify this our last IBM products will get new added value? or are being depreciated instantly? I would prefer the first, and think this will happen in the short run...

Duration of ownership: 13 Months

Strengths: Starts up, processor quite quick

Weaknesses:Hangs, gets slow, keyboard sometimes lags by 64 seconds

Overall Evaluation: This is my second Thinkpad. The T41P was quite good, but these T42's are very dissapointing. Several of my fellow workers have them and we are all complaining about the drivers, the way the encryption software on the hard drive places the CPU into a serious delayed state and general poor user experiences with them. I recently reviewed some HP business notebooks and they do not have the same delayed lag and hang issues. Thinking it was a Windows problem I loaded Suse linux on it, but sadly the result was the same. I have gone off IBM Thinkpads for a while
