The IBM Thinkpad

I have, or have had, several: T22, T23, 600, 600X, a T60 and most recently a T500. Lenovo rather than IBM, those last two, but I suppose they belong here.

Some good resources I have found:

• Women and Dreams: ThinkPad 600X: The Ice Drills of Europa A very good history of the brand.
• Teaching an old dog new tricks: ThinkPad 600e | NotebookReview A good review explaining what makes these machines so desirable still
• ThinkWiki Excellent source of information
• Replace the BIOS battery on an IBM Thinkpad 600X Cheaply clear and simple instructions to fix the most common problem with a second-hand Thinkpad
• The IBM ThinkPad battery problem It's not all good (I don't care about this, because I use them as "desktop" machines — that is to say, I run them off the mains)
• ThinkPad reddit
• ThinkPad buyer's guide for n00bs
