The IBM Thinkpad is an "oldie but goody" I would say. I had never had a laptop until I received this one from my fiancee. I am currently running Windows Xp on it and having no problems whatsoever. I like this laptop because for some of the features, ie: the trackball, decent sized screen and ability to run programs without a problem. The IBM band seems to be distancing itself from the leaders of the laptop pack but I would definately purchase another IBM if I had to. The casing is durable as I've accidentally dropped it from short distances off the floor multiple times by accident and its still staying together quite well. You can still easily find accessories to this laptop. The screen stays bright and no problems with the keyboard thus far. The internal memory and processor are decent as well. I'm a college student and have used this laptop repeatedly and it has lasted me a while. I would recommend this laptop to anyone.
