Update to my original pose

A couple points of update:

1. I would take an HP Elitebook over a Thinkpad at this point. Build quality is better. Lenovo is going downhill a little. Either machine is still solid.

2. With the viability of Solid State Hard Drives, the game has officially changed. I would rather spend less on a lower end machine and end up with a Solid State Hard Drive. I threw these things in some laptops and the performance difference is stunning. It makes the laptop run at least 6 times faster - The bottleneck is not on the processor in most cases - its in the hard drives trying to keep up with the DAW.
