"THe THinkPAd 755cd in a year from now will be hopefully in my range of purchase $4500-$5000 CDN, and if i don't get the CDV model I will purchase an overhead display (i am not sure how much a decent one will cost in a year or two). I heard, however, that the CDV model has a major problem in that it overheats and melts when on the projector (this would not be too nice given the cost of the machine). Therefore, perhaps the CD model would be better for me." If you are thinking of buying an obsolete model (the 755cd will be very obsolete a year fro now), you will find that, if you can indeed find a new one still to buy -- somewhat dubious, it will have a fire sale price, much lower than what you suggest. Thinkpads lose value tremendously fast, and yu can indeed get great deals by willing to be behind the wavefront of development, but 18 months might be too long (the 755CD is after all already obsoleted by the 760CD). A year is a LONG time in this market.
