Preaching to the choir my friend... I was a bench-tech for years, I've worked 
on hundreds of laptops. Dells, HP's, Acers, Asus... the Thinkpads I've 
serviced were almost always limited to software problems, rarely anything to 
do with hardware. Thats a good thing. Except Lenovo has a budget-line which 
should be avoided like the plague. Cheap keyboards, plastic LCD hinges, weird
placement of CPU exhaust fan, etc.

Always stick with the T or R-model Thinkpads. The L-models look okay but I've 
never used one thus cannot vouch for one.

An old Thinkpad R60 runs all of Zone 1 operations here, like clockwork, 
happily tossing mail for many months at a time between reboots. And reboots 
here happen only when absolutely necessary.

Your T540P was specifically designed from the factory to run Windows 7. I 
strongly recommend starting fresh with what OS it was designed to run.
