I don't get it...you got a job with the town (local???) govt and they front you the money to buy a notebook? And then they take it out of your check for the next year???

Don't quit, get resigned or fired...

Nice specs though...I'm hot in he market for a powerhouse notebook, and I'd chiise a 17" in a minute. I like the idea of running to apps side by side.

The above post mentions lugging the thing around- true true- you'll probably have to carry it in a back pack!

That's almost exactly the computer I plan to order in a couple weeks.

of course it depends.. if its your primary work machine and you'll be using it a lot, but not moving that much, then you probably appreciate the 17" screen

I got resigned from my last job then I quit. Now here I am.

I plan on ordering a thinkpad t60p in a few weeks. Gonna go with the 14inch screen and buy a monitor later for home use. When the Turion X2's get released (~May 9th IIRC) its gonna drop duo prices.
