My brother has a z61 Thinkpad and it is an awesome machine IMO. I personally woundn't want one though (prefer the T series - if they just had integrated DVI and IEEE 1394 I would have bought one), mainly because of its thickness but I may just be a bit spoiled in that regard by my MBP...
Nevermind the widescreen...
Hello Lenovo! I wasconsidering a T60p about a month ago... but you blew it completely. I really need Firewire/IEEE1394 for video editing and my high res display at home loves the DVI thing. Sure I could have bought the docking station which has DVI but thats even...
New machines will be available at around september. If you want a new laptop there is no reason not to get one of the new Core 2 Duos then. Otherwise you will always be waiting for the next best thing, I don't regrett getting my core duo machine a month ago at all.
30FPS minimum @ 1280x1024? I get those framerates with my old 9600pro and XP2200+ system...
My MacBookPro does about 30 FPS in Ogrimmar when running WoW in Windows without Overclock or "reClock" as some would call it.
When the X1600 gets clocked to the speed it runs at in other less thinner...
Well... if it has to be new, get a Dell but with that budget I would seriously be looking at used machines. You can get 14" T40s and T41s used at that price. The risk ist that the battery will not be as long lasting as it once was though - an inherent problem when buying used laptops. A new...
It's always been standby for me ever since my first mac laptop.
When I use Windows laptops I usually shut them down unless I know that standby works well on that particular machine (some Dells, the Thinkpads and odd HP laptop that we have at work). I always close all the apps down though...
pretty much tied for first place in terms of build quality and service these are the only Laptops I would personally buy (can't afford one? - save more money until you can!): Thinkpad T-Series, Apple MBPro
HP comes in second, I really like the design on these and HPs service is good aswell.
I...
At that pricepoint it's going to be a Dell with integrated graphics... which isn't all that bad though! At least their customer service is quite decent.
My flatmate has a Thinkpad X-Series from work and it is a great little light machine. It is very expensive though considering what you are getting for the money.
A MacBook is a good choice and suprisingly good value too. The Asus W3J is also a really nice laptop... unless you live in europe...
At the moment at least, bootcamp is not really usefull for stuff other than games. The biggest problem is the lackluster support of the Apple laptops integrated keyboard. Until this is fixed, the only way to get good reults is to use an external USB keyboard.
Running Windows in a Parallels...
The new MacBooks aren't going to be out till around September. (Perhaps for the Mac-Expo in Paris?)
I just got my MBP last week and am very happy with it. No whine, no build defects and the heat is what I was expecting of a thin, powerfull Laptop with a shell made of heat conducting material.
As others have alreay said, unless you want to use OS-X as your primary OS I wouldn't really recommend buying an Apple. Don't get me wrong, they are excellent machines and exactly what I was looking for: A very fast OSx capable machine which can boot into windows for some gaming and can run Win...
Sorry but a puny 7600 graphics matched to a nice 1680x1050 screen ain't gonna cut it. By being that huge they have already clearly stated that this thing is not going to be run und batteries so why not use a 7900 chip - or do they at least have an option for that?
