T61 - nice!

I gave the new MacBook Pro to someone who'll use it better (one of the developers) and now I'm using the oldest MBP we have as my office machine, and an old Lenovo T61 as a development machine (running Fedora 10). Except for a slight problem with getting sleep mode to work on the T61, it's way the better machine - easy on the eyes (the black finish is non-glare, the screen is matte but very readable), it's comfortable on the hands, ... I like it! Enough so that I'm thinking about putting out a couple hundred bucks for a CPU upgrade.

Nothing's perfect - the T61 battery sticks out the back oddly, making me nervous about breaking it off with some of my legs-on-the-table postures ... and the screen could be 10% or 20% brighter for daylight environments. But so far, this is the best laptop I've used; when I replace my personal laptop (a Toshiba tablet) I'm going to see if I can afford another Lenovo.
