i had to add some ram to my t400, it wasnt difficult but i was surprised that it lives under the touchpad and requires more disassembly than say, just popping off a panel on the bottom side. it's been my workhorse with an x-25m ssd for over 4 years. only complaint is with extended 9-cell battery it's def a bulky thing. i've also had some issues using the reduced-size awkwardly-offset up/down/left/right keys - at least 3 times a day i will hit page-left or page-right by accident, causing tab switching. http://www.notebookcheck.net/typo3temp/pics/e82f8ee408.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/typo3temp/pics/e82f8ee408.jpg a huge win in all situations is having the cooling vents on the sides rather than bottom and keyboard drain/spill tray.

What I find great is that, at least for the business models, they offer service manuals that describe everything you have to do to change any part (from RAM to CPU).

  I used to do routers/networking for a shop that was an Apple certified service center. The amount of teeny screws the techs had standing up on the magnetic bases was simply dumbfounding. With just the cases off, there was already a forest of these things similar to this: http://img.alibaba.com/img/pb/469/933/263/1282659625153_hz-cnmyalibaba-web2_3860.jpg http://img.alibaba.com/img/pb/469/933/263/1282659625153_hz-c... A couple of times someone knocked over one of those things and it was a disaster of crawling around on the floor for 60 minutes. I can probably service my whole ThinkPad notebook with < 30 screws and 30% of the time.
