It’s been a half year since I bought my current IBM Thinkpad. It’s not new when I bought it, but it still works superb.
I don’t know what makes me fall in love with this machine. Compared to Eri’s VAIO, my laptop screen is awful, compared to Egar’s Ferrari, mine will lose on speed test, compared to Jindol’s laptop, my graphic card is running like a turtle, compared to Riza’s laptop, my laptop’s speaker sounds like a crap, compared to Phil’s Ibook, mine are not that stylish. So, what makes me choose this IBM Thinkpad R51 ?
Until now, I haven’t found any problem with this great stuff. Even it’s not a high end machine, but it has an excellent compatibility and stability. Everytime I had a problem setting up any applications which might related with hardware issues, all I need to do just googling the net, and guess what ? Most of my problem already solved. Thanks to every Thinkpad users all over the world.
O yeah, do I need to mention about original MS Windows XP Professional installed on this machine? Definitely Yes !!
You can also find a bunch of application / OS which are already tested and certified on Thinkpad. You name it, Ubuntu ? Debian ? FreeBSD? MS Windows ? Photoshop ? Notepad ? cmd.exe ? ls ? :p
For a my daily job it’s quite enough, I don’t need that ultra extreme powerful mobile machine to do my jobs. I won’t use my laptop to render full animatic HD movie with extra blink-blink effects on my laptop. Sometimes I played MotoGP with this baby and its still running smoothly.
One thing I need to consider when I decide to buy another one is size. Core duo with 12″ screen, less than 2 kg (full package) and at least 4 hours battery life will suits on me. Last time I check Sim Lim Singapore, Lenovo Thinkpad X60 meets that requirements. Anybody would like to give me some ? :p

Enaknya Thinkpad itu apa ? Keyboardnya! Bentuk fisiknya! Keras, kokoh, cocok untuk laki-laki. Keyboardnya itu kayak mesin tik, enak dipukul. Lalu karena warnanya hitam, jadi nggak mudah kotor, cocok buat orang dekil seperti saya.
Selain itu, aplikasi ThinkVantage nya bagus, terutama Access Connection ama Keyboard Customizer.
Spek sih gak terlalu oke dibanding notebook lainnya, tapi fitur2 diatas tadi yg bikin dia enak dipakai.
BTW saya saat ini pakai Thinkpad X40, RAM 768MB, HD 40GB, wifi abg, gigabit ethernet, usb 2.0. Enteng, kenceng. Males mau milih notebook lagi

Kibord tingpet emang paling mantap dari semua leptop yang pernah saya coba. Gak salah kalo mereka bilang sebagai “Best engineered keyboard in the world”. Bahkan sekarang pun saya sudah punya feel sendiri kalao megang kibord tingpet.
Btw, saya pengen ganti ke seri X sih sebenarnya (baru kerasa berat setelah sering wira-wiri kemana-mana), tapi yang ini harus kejual dulu. Ada yang mau Thinkpad R51 (Amrik punya), RAM 768, HDD 40 GB, Centrino 1.5 GHz (L2 Cache 2MB)
*gelar lapak*
