I highly recommend reading "Unlocking the Clubhouse" by Jane Margolis and Allan Fisher [0]. It's a relatively short read and i found it to be an eye-opener with regards to the various factors that go into shaping our very (e

After researching a bit more i might end up getting the T420. Solid keyboard, and with an i5 and a fancy SSD it'll be fine for my needs (plus a cd-bay battery, yay!). Blazing even, considering that i'm still on a C2D as my daily
