the 40gig is the same pixiedust series as the 20gig and 30gig..
only you can decide if the video chip is sufficient for your needs..
there are now some of the manuals online..
i ordered three of the top model (2366-92U) this afternoon and got the first
three off the truck so to speak, though these new thinkpads have been
shipping directly from the factory in mexico, overnight fedex..
two for stock and one for a customer..
