| There was in fact a large problem with the Hard drives in the T20 through T-30 laptops - specifically the Hitachi made hard drives. Never ran into the failing memory slot problem myself, may have been model specific. IBM makes a good laptop but far too pricey for one to just carry to class - if price is more important than longevity Dell or Gateway is probably the right way to go, or just look around for a used one. I still use an old 266 mhz PII IBM laptop at times - damn thing simply won't die!
