I'm mostly happy with my Thinkpad from 2003 Floffe Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 12:58:12 PM
upgraded to 512MB RAM and 80GB HDD, and a 1.4GHz Pentium M. Bought it used for $350 two years ago. The one thing that bugs me about it is the 1024x768 14.1" screen, I want a higher resolution to fit more stuff on there. Plus I'd like to be able to play massive OpenTTD games on there (open source clone of Transport Tycoon of 90's fame, some online coop games have rail networks with well over a thousand trains which stresses the CPU quite a bit), but I can use the desktop for that.
