Having taken all of this into account, I started looking on my local Craigslist at some lower level laptops and these two came up.

Now, I pick the Thinkpad over the Dell because it's only $5 (and a bit of a longer trip) more for a whole other gigabyte of RAM, Windows 7, 40GB more hard drive space and a fingerprint reader. (Seriously, if that isn't the coolest...)

On the other hand, the Dell has a slightly faster processor (1.60 GHz vs 1.83 GHz) and actually has a phone number in the ad. (I despise having to wait on reply emails, they never come. :c)

Now, I've got a few questions. First and foremost, what model of Thinkpad is that? I'm pretty sure I have it pegged as an R61, but that seems a bit too recent to be selling for $75, plus I read the R61 has a webcam and I'm not entirely sure I see one on there. Second, in the event that the owner of the Thinkpad doesn't contact me by wednesday (My cutoff date) does the D620 take the same kind of RAM as the D610?
