Thinkpads - These are new

[mattdoc]

1. I am an avid eBay user, and I am new to these boards, but this is NOT an AUCTION. - those are against the rules.
2. I know this is really IBM, because I bought one from them last week.

What are differences between the A and T series?

 

[JJWEB]

The A series is an all-in-one with floppy drive and cd internal. They weigh around 6.7 lbs. The 2629 models come with a 3-year warranty, the others 1-year. The T series is 5.1lbs and has a swappable drive. Also, the T series come with a 3-year warranty.

Note: watch out for the $1,299 one - the screen is 1024x786 instead of 1600x1200 (according to ibm.com).

hmm, I just realized that the DVD drive in the A21Ps is *swappable*. You can take it out if you like and buy a travel cover for the remaining space from IBM (Part # 08K6070)

man, if a 15 inch laptop lcd screen can do 1600x1200, why can't desktop lcd do that? Or at least a cheap one that can do that.
