What you guys think of these? I just pulled the trigger on an AMD flavored 15.
Before you purists chastise me, I fully realize the Edge is not a 'real' Tpad since it's more for the consumer market and much cheaper than the other lines, but ya know, blow it out your ass.
Was actually somewhat difficult choosing which to get.
I ended up going for the Phenom Tri-Core (even though each core only clocks in at 1.9ghz) with ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250.
Granted, the Intel Core i3 is slightly faster and around the same price, but, all the Tpad Edges with Intel have integrated Intel graphics, so no way am I going there. I don't care if the Core i5s were priced the same as the Phenoms heh, Intel graphics SUCK.
Anyway...like to hear any opinions, experiences, etc. from those who have one.
I've always wanted a Thinkpad because I love the sturdy construction, track-nub, and look of the unit. Even though the Edge is a tad flashier than the standard Tpad brick, it still suits me fine! None of that glossy black or red bullshit either. Matte black or bust.
