I'm all for open source and competition to IE7. But Maxthon seems to take less resources, can save flash files, and have little usability tweaks for tabs (i.e. activate or deactivate tabs for new windows, etc., location of new windows relative to original tab, and so on). Is there any tweak to make Firefox look like Maxthon since its UI is very "meh". Tips anyone?
Yes, same here.:-) The Thinkpad T40p is a great machine and has builtin wireless (mine has a B, but the newer ones have G speed). There's also built in infrared, 7200 RPM, 60 gig, 512-1024 MB ram, and the best hands-on ThinkNav laptop mouse. Once you use the mouse, you can never revert back to the eww, the touchpads.
Plus, it has a 64 MB ATI FireGL card which should handle Doom3 fairly well. The p at the end of the T40 denotes the top of the line stuff with extended battery life, even though it is a bit expensive. But it's definitely worth it. I'm sure if you look around on the web, you can get them for $1700+ (USD).
To me, if you're not a Macintosh person, then its equivalent is Windows XP/Linux's IBM Thinkpad T4xp series which is just as reliable and has a long laptop usability life.
