Thinkpad R50e disappointments

This is model 1842t4u purchased during late summer 2005 clearance.

Had to pay $28 sales tax. (To where? China?)

No built-in microphone.

No disk drive "Active Protection System".

Battery life is short: 3.5 hrs max.

Windows XP Home does not do EFS (Encrypting File System); only XP Professional does.

Nipple mouse occasionally biased a certain direction

Wireless periodically cuts out for a second

System cannot be made to go automatically to standby after N minutes.

Nipple mouse leaves a greasy spot on display
