  "titanium plate LCD lid build quality"

  by Toshiaki on November 8, 2005

  Pros: bulletproof to two 9mm bullets

  Cons: -none- none on my part

  Summary: this little review is on the thinkpad's LCD lid quality ONLY.
  the protection of the titanium plating on the back of the thinkpad's lid is a first. i am very convinced that it is the best screen protection any notebook can have. my cousin is in the US military and has been using this thinkpad in iraq ever since he was deployed there. the back of his screen, the titanium side, was shot twice by a 9mm pistol from enemy fire. concerned as he was, he attempted to turn on his computer back at basecamp and surpisingly the computer fired up normally and loaded windows. through what he says, the screen was slightly warped and there was a cluster of stuck and dead pixels. i am amazed that the screen even functions let alone the backlight even functioning. i am convinced that there is no other "test" that can beat this one. i rate this thinkpad 10/10 only based on the screen protection. i do not own this thinkpad so i cannot speak for any other part of the notebook other than the screen "test" ironically played upon my cousin fighting in the middle east.

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!

  Okay ... The friend's notebooks may have taken two hits from a 9mm Pistol. I am with law enforcement and can tell you that 9mm ball ammo has low stopping power. Fire from a moderate distance through a computer bag, and it's not going to go through the computer. What's more humorous is the relation of the 'titanium lid cover' to screen protection. Well, it's not really titanium, and has nothing to do with screen protection. It's a decorative alloy of some sort ... a veneer ... to make the ThinkPad look like a Dell. Not that I'd have the Dell, mind you. So anyway ... Support Our Troops.

  hahaha that's the best one I read yet this year.
  I own a Browning HiPower 9mm handgun. It would puncture a hole through at least 5 stacked titanium thinkpads. Please let's keep the funny stories for the little children.

  That story about the notebook being shot in Iraq sounds like baloney.
  
  How about posting some pics of it?
