I've been told that the T2 is based on the Radeon 9600, and the V3200 based on the Radeon X300.

OK I found out more about the T43p, Lenovo makes limited numbers, so when they sell out you have to wait till they make more. The regular T43;'s are always available.

I called thinkpad twice today but the CSR didn't allow me to my the barebone system unless i configure everything... I did provide the model #.

so maybe they changed the policy and there is no such deal anymore?

You can get a DVI port if you get the port replicator, something with Acer doesn't offer for the Ferrari.

So? The T43 is made with magnesium.

if you do ur research, polycarbonate plastic is alot firm n stronger than magnesium. bud.

and if you have a dvi port built in to the laptop.. does it get any better? whats the use of putting it on port replicator. think about it. playing stuff on your projector, work, your dvi monitor straight off the laptop. dual display option enabled support even.

thought i read $2300. so sorry take that back. i got it for little more than that. wont say the price but it still puts a big change in my pocket and surpass t43.

how come you didnt quote my other text?

Hmmm...I figure I'm probably best equipped to chime in. Last July, I bought a Ferrari 4005. I sold it in November for a T43. In July of this year, I'll likely buy the new Ferrari, but certainly not to replace my T43.

The Thinkpad is better. As much as I love the Ferrari, the Thinkpad is just a better laptop. Sure, I prefer the rubberized coating on the Ferrari, but the TP is thinner, lighter, cooler (temp), has a better keyboard, a trackpoint and thinklight, and has better battery life. More options. 2nd HDD? no problem. I have 2 80gb 7200rpm drives in it right now. Extended battery life? 9 cell + ultrabay battery = 9 hours of battery life. The 4005 routinely got 3 and a half for me...but there was no provision for extendd battery life.

But let's be honest. We're comparing what was the best gaming laptop in the 15.4" form factor against the best thin & light laptop that was available. Well, the 14" at least. I liked the 15" T42P that I had, but the 14" was always the sweet spot for me. Portable but powerful, and under 5lbs.

Different classes. Different intentions.
