I pulled an older thinkpad out of storage and swapped in my primary drive. So now I'm posting from that. I forgot how much nicer the keys are on this machine! It has seen less wear even though it's a year older. The processor is slower though, and it's noticable in boot time and program load times. But really not a deal breaker, It's the same architecture, so my system boots and runs fine, even have bluetooth still! I think the battery in this one is shot though, so I'll probably swap that out from my other machine.
