And this new one's a beast! I'm upgrading from a Thinkpad T400 to a W500. I can finally play newer games now! It's got a real graphics card instead of one of those generic chipsets that laptops usually have, with, get this, eight times the video memory of my old one. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself!
New Specs (W500):
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
4GB RAM
ATI Mobility FireGL V5700
512mb video Ram
1920 x 1200
Old Specs (T400):
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.27GHz
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
2GB RAM
Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset
64mb video RAM
1280 x 800

15.4 inch 16:10, 1920x1200 .
That is pretty good. I'm a big fan of high resolution screens.

I like my work Thinkpad. Not much in the way of specs but quite durable when compared to gaming machines.

Shit son, imagine what you can do with a watercooler. I run a Corsair H70 and on my old build got a multiplier-locked 2.6GHz Pentium G6950 up to 4.4GHz.

Probably. I haven't cracked this one open yet but all Thinkpads I've ever worked on have had two internal bays.

I have 4GB in my 4 year old laptop. It's really starting to get annoying. I can upgrade to 8GB but I'm lazy. So I just get annoyed instead of fixing the problem.
Being lazy is annoying...

You should have bought the Y500. An Actual graphics card.

With the H70 running an i5-655k at 4.0GHz I'm around 40-45c max. with the G6950 at 4.1GHz 24/7 I would max at 48c. At 4.4GHz it would only stay stable for about 30min at a time.

That's 1920 x 1200 from a laptop made in 2008 . Thinkpads have always been top-of-the-line, and also much more expensive because of it. The current model of the one I just bought starts at $1,330 . I bought this one refurbished for $300.

I don't have $1000 just laying around. A $300 refurbished machine is plenty enough for me.

This is from June, before I got monitor #3 and the desk-mount monitor stand, and before the desk speakers died.

wow! And I thought my computer was slow and old. It's a Asus F3Se with a decent 1440x900 screen and a C2D T7300, but half of the drivers don't function properly as Asus isn't that great with updates.

I don't buy anything else but Thinkpads. They're the toughest machines you can buy short of those military-grade tough-books.

My old computer could play Portal 2 with medium graphics settings, as well as Mass Effect 2 at no more than 10 FPS on low settings.
