BUSKER thought he might NEEDS a LAPTOP
but is holding off til Aug 29 when he might find that his new employers furnish one.
I've 'phoned around and it *seems* that an IBM Thinkpad is what this season's thrusting young execs are wielding. I must But why such haste? Perhaps job includes such road-warrior accessories. I'll still spam the chaps but will hold off forking out actual spondulix til I know what's what.Ah so. Having spammed the troops, and check. I don't want to roll up first day at the office and be the laughing stock with some Toytown gizmo. the following are on my shortlist:

I have a two year old IBM Thinkpad T40 and I love it. Luckily for me my employer bought it because they can be a bit pricey. It has one of those extended batteries and I've gone as long as 6 hours on one charge. It I had the money to spend and I wanted a Windows running machine, I would definitely buy a Thinkpad.
I also have a three year old Toshiba Satellite 5105 which is a pretty nice laptop but it won't go much over a couple hours on a charge. It is also quite a bit heavier than the Thinkpad.

thanks so much! i've decided to be in less of a hurry, see what my employers have in mind for staff equipment and/or what discounts they have access to, etc. But its invaluable to have such feedback and be able to narrow the field. C
