Running Linux, it positively screams, even when doing big compiles.
What made you pick that line as opposed to, say, any of the Thinkpad
models?

I have a
new Lenovo laptop. I've been accustomed to Apple build
quality for about ten years, so I bought it with much trepidation, but
after talking to a lot of people about it. I was able to fondle one
quite a bit before I bought a new one, so I had a feel for it beforehand.
Yes it's plastic. For me, "plastic" has always been synonymous with
"crap", but I've adjusted my attitude in that area because of this
machine. Yes it's plastic (with a metal top shell), but it somehow
still manages to be built like a tank. It's also very fast, which is
nice for writing code while on the road. Overall I like it; I think
it's good bang for the buck. I think they are doing ok for now.
What model of Lenovo laptop do you have? I have a Thinkpad T42 and it
still seems to do things at a reasonable speed and is still in once
piece. I doubt Windows 7 would be any good on it. I use Debian on it
instead.
