-the placement of the I/O ports aren't "practical". Personally, I prefer the arrangement in the T2x series

The express models... at least the T41s I looked at included std 3 year warranty. If you don't mind me asking what kind of a discount did you get?
Also to everyone who owns one, did you get the Thinkpad protection warranty to cover accidental damage?
One thing that was pretty annoying was the fact that the keybard had no "Windows" key.

Does the T40 play DVD+R's?
I'm not sure. My T40 has a Matshita UJDA745 DVD/CD-RW combo drive, this comatibility list has the UJDA 710 and the 720 listed, so the 745 probably also supports DVD+Rs and just isn't listed.Originally posted by: Viper0329

It's really a non-issue. The IBM keyboard customizer software allows you to set the right hand ALT key to act as a windows key.
Well, like I said, it was my personal preference. For example, the placement of the USB ports can be a "hassle" when a right-handed person uses a mouse because the cord will have to travel "around" the back of the laptop. Basically, I like the sides to have a more "streamlined" and "cleaner" look, so to speak.Originally posted by: Pandaren

The T40's port placement actually makes more sense. It is much easier for me to plug in ethernet or modem cables into the left side than in the back. Also, having side USB ports makes it very easy for me to use a USB Memory key. On my old Dell system, I would have to turn my notebook around and plug the key into the back of the machine (which I found annoying).
