Advice for Lenovo T400?
Question by Gerri: Advice for Lenovo T400?
It is Cyber Monday today and I am interested in purchasing a Lenovo T400 Think Pad notebook laptop selling for $ 599.00 (normally $ 1215.00)- Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40GHz), Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32 OS, 2 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM memory, 160 GB Hard Disk Drive. I would like to know if this is a recommended computer for a college student who would like to use this laptop for academic use and business use, especially for medical billing, viewing and burning CD’s and DVD’s, listening to music, Microsoft Office and other software usage, and internet surfing. I would like to know if this model laptop is compatible with my medical billing software (Medisoft v15 Practice Management- 2.6Ghz processor or higher, 1GB of available hard disk space, 512MB of RAM, 16 bit+ color display, and Windows XP Professional recommended). Is this a good value or do you think I’d be able to get something for a better value and higher quality at a different time, is this computer recommended for its value and performance, and is this computer adequate for my needs? Do you also recommend upgrading memory to 4 GB for an extra $ 30.00 and upgrading to a 2.6 GHz processor also for a nominal charge? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is really more of a computer question than a college question. I would suggest asking in the Computers section at http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/index?sid=396545665 in order to get a better response. However, I can tell you that if you’re buying it solely for academic and business use, it may be a little more than you need. Most students do just fine with standard-model laptops. But check with someone knowledgeable in the Computers section to be sure.
