    Hi,

    Are these thick computers? Has anyone measured to see that it's really 1.1-2" all the way around, or is this the thinnest point on the system and it increases to 1.5 inches or something like that? I just like to have a real-world check, sort of how like the weight stated by the manufacturer fudges around from actual real-life weights.

    Well, for starters you posted this in the wrong section. That's why you didn't get fast answers. :)

    Yes, why is a question about the Lenovo T500 in the wrong section if the section is marked "Lenovo/IBM"?
