I was a user of mac before thinkpad, and as much as I'd love to go back, but i'd have to run windows 90% of the time. Or is there any other laptops you would want to recommend? I am opened to any, even Mac.


The processor may be one issue, but so far I havent face anything I can't do with the old i5. What are you guys' view on this? Would you upgrade if you were me? My concerns about my current thinkpad is the battery life and warranty. Personally, I love my current T420 for its keyboard and high res display, both of which will not be on the new T430. The new thinkpad comes with 4 years warranty. It's so low that if i were to sell my current T420 to upgrade to T430, I will only have to top up $1000 more. Recently my school has a vendor that sells T430 (i7-3520M/8gbRam) ata price much lower than retail. I current own a low end T420 running on i5-2520M/4GB RAM and it has 6 months of warranty left. I do Java and server side programming, and also other business modules that requires heavy use of excel. Multi-touch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scroll, rotate and press were swift and responsive as were three-finger press and flicks.I am a computer science student and contemplating about if i should upgrade my T420 to a T430. We liked the feel of the small raised dots of the touchpad against our fingers. The 2.75 x 1.5-inch touchpad is small, but pleasant to use. The only thing preventing the T430 from offering a perfect typing experience is the plastic palm rest. The rubberized ABS plastic lid, carbon-reinforced bottom and internal roll cage help protect against shocks and drops. Include strong chrome hinges and the Lenovo and ThinkPad insignias in the top

The ThinkPad T430's lid is outfitted in theĭurable, yet extremely comfortable, black soft-touch finish.

These mobile workspaces offer a high standard of sturdiness, The ThinkPads from Lenovo (earlier ÏBM) are still the ultimate mobile work laptops for many
