Re: ThinkPad vs. Competition

[dewar@gnat.com (Robert Dewar)]

why is that model cheaper than the IBM thinkpad? Easy to answer, clones
manufactured by second tier manufacturers are always cheaper. There can
be many reasons for this -- note for example the prominent word "limited"
in the guarantee notice for the Micro Millenia notebook (at least in the
ad).

So, investigate guarantees and service records.

Also, make absolutely sure you try out the notebook before committing to it.
Specs don't mean much!

I certainly agre that specwise the MMT looks good! IBM thinkpads certainly
command premium prices, but you defiitely get premium quality in return.
