[teKillah]

Ripped from FW

[ViperV990]

I *so* wish it had a SXGA+ display... but at this price, can't beat it.

 

[vake]

do I need to pay tax?

 

[pillage2001]

Forking hotttttttttttttttt.

 

[rainypickles]

looks good, but is this better? T40 express something cheaper and bigger screen, but heftier.

 

[howhao]

quality-wise the R is far inferior than the T...

Damn only if it had a SXGA+ i'd be all over this. i have been waiting to upgrade my T30

 

[linuxthinker]

mmm thinkpad good. cheap knockoff oem bad.

i've got an x23, woohoo.

 

[Braxus]

Note that it seems like you have to call or IBM will call to complete the order. Looks like you may have to pay with a Discover credit card too as that's what the deal is targeted towards... Discover card customers.

 

[bwa999]

Wow what a deal. Just paid about 200 less then this for a used t30. Man I wish I had waited. great find

 

[IgoByte]

If it had an SXGA screen this would be awesome.

 

[studguy1]

can't believe these weasels are charging money for info on this deal

$19.99

$7.99

 

[Sheepathon]

I did the order process, they sent me an email saying I'd be contacted shortly by an IBM rep soon, what concerns me is something at the bottom of the email:

***LIMITED SUPPLY OF CERTIFIED USED PRODUCTS: Certified Used models cannot be reordered once they sell out. IBM Credit Corporation has the right to refuse or cancel orders placed for Certified Used products, even if IBM Credit Corporation has confirmed receipt of your order. If we take your order on a Certified Used product which sells out and the Certified Used product cannot be fulfilled through existing inventory, IBM Credit Corporation shall contact you and advise you of the stock outage.

refurb...?

 

[studguy1]

I Doubt that ,
it is a special offer for discover card members
Discover Card Special Offers

and there is nothing available in ibm certified used equipment section
IBM Certified Used Notebooks

Moreover the T41 product line is relatively new, launched on Oct 10, 2003
Review

It's improbable IBM has had so many returns in 2 months.

Seem cheaper up front, but it only has a one year warranty. The machine in this deal has the full 3yr warranty.
Plus the T41 has faster memory and the active protection system.

Looks hot to me if you're looking for a quality laptop which includes a 3-year warranty. The current price on this model/spec without this promotion is $1741.65 (regular $2,049).

non-promotional T41 model

Should serve you at least 2 years !!!

With 1.4Ghz (and that too Pentium) and 256MB RAM??

This is Pentium M 1.4, more info here.
As for the memory, you can always add more.

 

[Ionizer86]

P-M 1.4. Should be about as fast as a P4-M 2.2 or an XP-M 2400+. Specs look really cool. 1" thick, 4.5lbs, 5 hours battery life... Looks very quality

 

[FishTankX]

Does anyone know the other specs on the system? Graphics, harddrive, etc..?

 

[isekii]

look at the link

it looks like a sweet laptop.

 

[teKillah]

Has anyone got a call after ordering one ?

 

[FishTankX]

No info on graphics or harddrive size.. anyone know those specs?

 

[teKillah]

I could'nt hold any longer and snapped....

Just ordered one ! Came to about $1514.00 after 8,25 CA tax *shudder*

The rep was pretty surprised about the price and said that those go from $2099.00 and the T41'a are in a lot of demand.

I am surprised that not many people seem to jump on this !!!

I am sure IBM's hold their own as far as their laptops are concerned !

Typically it's ati 7500 32MB. 30Gig 5400 at best. I'm very tempted to get this. Wouldn't recommend it for any game play.
