Could you please explain to me how you solved the fingerprint reader issue. Thanks.

Congrats – I seriously doubt you’ll ever regret :)

In general my view is that it’s only Macbooks that is even near Thinkpads in quality. I would have considered Mac if they had HSDPA modems internally and a proper dock.

Macs are a bit constipated wrt connectivity and so on. Further, the Thinkpad service-deals are far better and more value for money.

That may occur with some models yes. In general it’s working neatly though. If I’m not mistaken there is no “revitalizer/reset” of battery thus one have to charge it to 100%, drain it to zero, then charge it 100%.

That should probably do the trick.

Yes, its easy when it works ;) But when I was installing my x220t in august I had to hack the sources a bit to recognize my model and some of the features didn’t work correctly.. (start threshold seemed to work, but stop show weird numbers and din’t work, etc…)

For everyone’s information, I ended up ordering

But without the dock/burner. Can’t wait until it arrives!

I e-mailed a photo of my student-ID and they replied it was OK :)

I am not familiar with lapstar, but when purchasing student license for Marble (Linux) I just logged in the institution’s site and navigated to a location that displayed name, email and student no ++. I took a screenshot and mailed it. It was approved without any questions.

If that’s not enough – just ask them. :)

It is rather easy to set battery thresholds with tp_smapi.

Lapstar.de appears to be interesting as alternative for purchasing Thinkpads.

I am actually pleasently surprised by the temperature. I had a X60 before, and they did run rather hot. The airvent at the backside gets sometimes warm, but not really hot. Palmrest, keyboard and bottom stays cool, or at least do not get uncomfortable warm. AFAIR the cnet review measures the temperature at different parts of the laptop.
