I need something to (finally) replace my still-functioning-but-not-quite-getting-it-done T42. Some of my students were in elementary school when this laptop was made.
Ergonomics/size similar to the T42 would be great, but am cool with widescreen, too. Want the nice keyboard, as that and a text-friendly screen are my two biggest needs. Battery life, nonexistent presently, would be a nice thing. Hardest thing this new laptop would need to do is play videos and making presentations.
Obviously my bias would be to another Thinkpad T or X series not knowing better. Other brands worth looking at? Not opposed to opening the thing up and upgrading (installing) a drive and/or memory. What's the best bang/buck I can do? I'm assuming used is in order. I just don't know the market anymore.
