That's why zee TiBook was discontinued after awhile & replaced with the Aluminum-based Powerbooks with a harder to break uni-hinge.
Apple has the tendency to make painfully compact notebooks thus the keyboards inprinting on the LCD. IBM has a more-fault tolerant take on it though my 2 Thinkpad's hinges did break after 3+ years of service. While they were in working order they were pretty good machines. Pity that the HDD had a tendency to break often.

Actually I thought the screen sucked becuase alot of people had the hinge break and judgeing by yours looks like you too have keyboard imprints on the screen which just drives me nuts.
Also the Thinkpads are badass! I have one too. I think an X20. I was gonna get a X60 for my dad but plans changed and he already bought another laptop.  What model is yours?

On the LCDs I'd still go for those sold by Dell. Cheap & more functional too. Just need to put black electrical tape on the center bottom bezel to hide the logo and you're set.
Speaking of Apple LCDs...
The 20" Cinema Display now sells for $699 (down from $799), the 23" Cinema Display now sells for $999 (down from $1299), and the 30" Cinema Display now sells for $1999 (down from $2499), representing cuts of $100, $300, and $500 respectively.
Not as cheap as Dells or as functional but it's a welcome change.
edit
This is so screwed up!
Dell's 30" LCD is $200 more expensive than an Apple 30" LCD WTF is wrong with this picture?

I used both mac and PC, at work, at home (as you can see) and there is nothing, nothing that a mac is better at then a PC.

Dell use LG screens/panels 
So why not get an LG, and not waist the money on black electircal tape to cover up the logo?

Alex how muc his that monitor?
Also the older thinkpads HDD sucked because I think the4y had them damn 5400 rpm hdd and I have like 4 5400 rpm HDD that all just died or dies after like 10 mins of using it. So when I get new HDD its either 7200 or more. Usually just 7200 because they are cheaper.
*EDIT*
Hey looks like u got the same case as one of my Desktop Alex! Pic comin up hold up a sec.

Why bother doing that. You'll either say Vista will have it in a few years time, dismiss it as fluff or some other BS.
If you can write with a pen I was also guessing you also turn on a dumb-as-fuck Mac. 
This is so hilarious... SFDMALEX is a closet Mac user.  Who would've thunk?

First off. Fuck Vista, and fuck OS X  wtf does Vista have anything to do with this thread?
And as I said. Take a picture of your mac doing something better and quicker then my PC and then Ill take a picture of whatever you want in the G4.
Like I got nothing else to do but take fucking pictures for someone who just got owned.

IIRC those old TP HDD's ran at 4200RPM. The 5400RPM is the current stadnard for notebook HDDs and the 7200RPM is the current high-end/

It's ok... there's little shame in being poofster mac user these days what with them using Intel and all.
Next thing I know RC45 owns Apple stock and is actually Steve fuckin Jobs. That would explain a whole lot!
