Well, that's a good point.  I certainly don't *have* to replace it, just 
seems like "it's time".  Mine does have 8G and an SSD, and is reasonably 
fast with a mobile i7 CPU of some flavor.  Maybe it's the 1600x900 
screen, which is fine actually, but I also use other computers at 1920x1080
and it's a little different.  You're right though, I may need to re-think 
this whole thing.  This laptop is very comfortable for me.

Indeed.  A major point there, as I think new Thinkpads don't have the 
same thing, and seem to have strange screen resolutions.  As I was 
discussing with 'esc', I'm looking pretty hard at the System76 lineup, 
they have some impressive specs which are well ahead of Lenovo's 
offerings for equivalent money.

LOL... perfect.
