How to assess cheapness?  I saw that prices span quite a large range...
Everyone here seems to agree that a ThinkPad is "nice" but expensive.  So what
does one get for the higher price (with respect to other laptops)?

This one (ThinkPad R61) is currently a special offer at my usual IT shop:

It seems that it has all the recommended components. Any gotchas I should
be aware of?

Best,
Gilles
