[ltp] considering t43p... is the lenovo quality okay?

[Aaron Mulder]

At work, we've gotten 2 T43p's in the last month or so.  The only
problem we've had so far is that they typically ship from overseas
(China?) and have been suffering customs delays of 1-2 weeks when they
hit the US (on top of the build delay of 2 weeks or so).  Supposedly
that problem is fixed now.

I guess I will mention that on a 14" T43p, when we first got it, the
hard-drive cover panel on the right-hand side between the optical
drive and the front of the machine didn't blend as smoothly with the
surrounding panels as was the case for the last 14" T42p we had.=20
After unscrewing it and pushing it in and screwing it back up again,
it's better, but the top edge of the right-hand side is still not
exactly flush where it transitions from the top piece surrounding the
keyboard to the palm rest nub to the hard drive cover panel (granted,
this is minor and probably doesn't make a lot of sense without a
picture).

Oh, and also it ships with this lame Windows sticker on the palm rest.  :)
