Anyone have a T420s or T430s? Thinking of buying one

No fan noise here. I do also have a 2011 (non retina) MacBook Pro as well which I enjoy very much :D I got this so I can throw in a few drives and run a bunch of VM's using vmware player to test around before I buy workstation.

Anyone have a T420s or T430s? Thinking of buying one

I picked the t430s because of the ease of memory upgrades without having to remove the keyboard, and the weight difference. I was originally looking at the x230, but decided to go with the t430s as i wasn't sure how i felt about a smaller screen.

Anyone have a T420s or T430s? Thinking of buying one

I picked up a t430s, and put in 16gb ram and an SSD in the HDD slot, and ultrabay. I may end up getting a battery one day for the ultrabay however. So far I like it with no complaints

Most people who seem to be complaining on that site don't pay their bill. As long as you pay you will be fine.

Need a good automobile accident attorney in the Bay Area.

I had an accident where some driver hit me head on at about 55mph about 10 years ago. The other driver was at fault with plenty of witnesses, however their insurance co kept trying to not cover my loss fully. I had the car only for 3 months, so obviously I owed more than it was worth. (10k...

I can't stand people who stop at the toll lane in the ez-pass lane. Once I saw someone stop, and a truck slammed into them and pushed them through :) People who stop at a merge that has a mile of merge room.

Have y'all ever noticed how people drive when they see......

I've passed many cops driving slow in the right lane because they wanna take the next exit, just to have the person in front of them slow down to like 10 below the limit.. In Florida it's the law that you have to move over, or slow down 20 mph less than the speed limit, more details on this...

Saw a SWEET car accident at lunch today!!!

I hate when I use my signals to get over to the right, just to have some idiot not use his and almost hit me. I'm supposed to read his mind that he wants to be in that lane? my car has side marker lights too, so it's not hard to see them
