New Laptop! Lenovo ThinkPad T61

May 26, 2008 Posted by mitch | lenovo, technology, ubuntu | 0 Comments

My boss decided I should have a company purchased laptop, instead of using my own. Since we had another guy starting at the same time, he wanted us to purchase one for each of us. I went with another Lenovo, but this time a ThinkPad. A ThinkPad T61 with a Core2 duo 2.5Ghz, 4GB RAM, and the WSXGA+ screen, and 250GB drive. I went with the 15" one just for the screen res. I also ordered it preloaded with SuSE. It was $200 cheaper than the one with windows, and I just wanted to add to the tally of the demand for Linux Pre-Loaded. I will be reloading it with Ubuntu once I get it, but not a big deal.

The great news is that it was saying it wasn't going to ship until the 16th of June, well I just got an email saying it shipped today! I ordered 2 Business day shipping which is what I did for my last lenovo, and it came from Hong Kong in 2 days. So, I should have it by thursday, or friday at the latest.

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
