I got my Thinkpad 365X yesterday (P-100/8/810/10.4 TFT). Delivery took five weeks, and I think I was actually lucky that I got it before September. They seem to have big delivery problems here in Germany, and probably the low-end models have low priority, too. It's a lovely machine -- the keyboard is one of the best I've ever typed on, and I really like the track point. After just a few hours, I'm almost as quick with it as with a mouse. I think I would even consider a track point for a full desktop computer; it's a very good pointing device, IMHO. The display is great, although it has a bad pixel, I'm afraid. "Half a bad pixel", to be precise: sometimes it's green, sometimes red, and sometimes it's okay, depending on the overall screen picture (if it's mostly white or mostly black, the pixel is all right). However, during the first hour of use, I saw another pixel that freaked out, but this vanished quickly. So I haven't given up hope yet. Should I accept the bad pixel? I think I can live with it; and only if I need to have the machine serviced for some other reason, I'll ask about the pixel. What are your experiences? (Sorry, this has probably been discussed before, but I didn't see it in the FAQ, and access to the archives is very slow.) Andre Spiegel University of Stuttgart, Germany PS. I'll be away from the net for a week starting this afternoon.
