General Comments
IBM simply makes the best keyboards on the market. You need to try it the T41 to believe it. Otherwise it's extremely solid, very reliable. It's a real take it anywhere, drop it anywhere business work-horse. Also great as a used purchase if you're a student, you can get it on ebay for cheap and carry it in a rucksack - a little abuse included.
Agreed, it's expensive and if you're looking for a consumer/gaming PC you'd probably find more bang for your buck with Acer/Dell etc. But as we all know, laptop keyboards are annoying.
