Hmmm, last I checked my T42 still worked nicely. Although I had it in a=20
docking station at a customer where I didn=B4t get it out and that did=20
something bad to the casing.

But then I am using a 15 inch 1400x1050 one and in one of the threads it=20
reads that the 15" models were more robust. It has ATI GPU on board.

Well considering today prices I wouldn=B4t settle for anything earlier than=
=20
a T60 I think.

Thanks for your hints,
