laptop purchasing advice

We use T410's and 420's. As the IT guy for the region - I got the 420 before anyone else.

Its a good business machine - but have never tried gaming on it. For "light" gaming you should be fine with a 420 - but how much are you going to lug it around?

The 410/420 series has an issue where if you shut the lid (and not have it set to sleep/power off) it can press the del key. Have had a few execs delete stuff by accident due to this. Also - the fan on the series is a bit flaky, as is the touchpad.

I can't recommend it given its current pricing. Sorry.
