Since we're talking about Lenovo Thinkpads...... (another thread), I
have been considering getting another laptop that is a little more
modern and faster. I've been pretty pleaswd with my T43 models. I used
the first one for about 6 years. It worked great until we had lightning
hit the power lines and I had it plugged in charging. After that, I
would never start. I guess the lightning fried it. I bought another T43
on ebay (used), I have been using that one since.

About all I have had to fix is to replace the battery. But thats
expected.

I plan to buy another Lenovo laptop, but something newer. I will just
use XP again, but if I buy one preinstalled with Win7, I'd try it. I
have heard Win7 is good, but I;'ve never used it.

I DO NOT want Win8.x or 10. and I cant afford a lot. A working USED one
is fine.

What models of Thinkpads are more suited to Win7? Even if I install XP
myself, I would like something with a little more speed and power.

My T43 works fine, but when I go to a WIFI and use Firefox for
downloading a lot of files, the whole computer gets real slow. However,
closing Firefox and restarting it, fixes the slowness, so I sort assume
it's firefox that is causing the slowness more than the computer itself.
I am running Firefox 47.02, which is actually around a year old, but FF
keeps adding more bloat and I know that is a reason for slowness, not to
mention a lot of crappy websites.
