Apparently, I'm a ninja.

Remember how I've raved about my Thinkpad T61p?

Apparently Lenovo's been having such a hard time sourcing the video card modules used in it due to the NVidia headaches with their 8-series chips that they've discontinued it entirely. And none of the replacements are anywhere near the performance for the price/battery life yet. =O.o=

Upside though, their new replacement models are all running Intel integrated and ATI dedicated video chipsets again, so apparently I got a quirky, one-off monstrosity of a workstation/gaming laptop with my T61p.

That's one thing I loathe about Lenovo laptops: the ATI cards.

I fucking hate t61p's, they're the source of half the work I have at work lately. The chips fail in bizzare ways and you can't tell if its drivers, or heat, or what, AUGH
