    I was thinking of getting a tablet x61 thinkpad and having a custom transformers
    paint job put on it, maybe in the logo colors or optimus prime colors.


    Why transformers?

    From laptop to tablet
    It transforms.

    Might want to see what effect it will have on your warranty.

    Yeah definitely check with leneovo and see if it voids your warranty or they might go Optimus Prime(had to say it ;)) on your A$$ if you have to get it repaired.

    warranty really doesnt concern me, ill just get it fixed on my own, really would rather pay for someone local than trust ppl that try to solve problems poorly like dell technical support. Took them about 8 and half months of me pestering them before they sent me a new dvd burner optical drive for my e1705. Worked horrible, walked me thru the same steps again and again, dont like technical support, its really sad when i know more about the machine they made than they do.....really sad. In the commercial they said get the dell thats built not just for anyone, get the the dell that's built for only one...
    you..................guess that means they dont think I should be using dvds, since they built me a machine with a broken dvd burner.

    If its like that then I say DO IT and post pics when you're done. I'm going to do the same to my GW once the warranty runs out. I am a huge tf fan as you can see by screen name and avatar. 7-4-7 .

    Warranty Issue - Well considering we do work directly for Lenovo....

    We have been collecting stock art from Transformers already in anticipation of orders like these. We just had a feeling a few orders would come from this resurgence.
