Hi, I am going to be traveling alot in the next two years, and I need a reliable battery for my Thinkpad T21. I am considering buying from Ebay, as the IBM store list price is 189USD, which is far too much. What factors should I consider when buying a T21 from Ebay? I noticed that sometimes...

I have a Li Ion Battery that lasts about 40 minutes. It has been charged 288 times and is listed as 87% dead. I don't know why these things all die at the magic 300 mark.

Well, its on CNET, doesn't cost anything to sign up, and you can click through most of the questions on signup. I don't see any great loss to giving it a shot. My guess is that it won't last, and they are just trying to get some free advertising. I still haven't got my confirmation email...

IBM certified refurbished T21,22,23,'s are usually in great shape. I bought one direct from IBM, and like it. They gave it a noisy hard drive, though, and the battery lasts only 2 hours and is unreliable. I am considering getting a Thinkpad 600 cause I have heard such good reviews (see...

I am actually on a T21 right now. I got it used from the IBM site for $700. I overpaid, but I got it when I was about to turn in my thesis and my other laptop died. I needed something immediately. The T21 is a great machine, but IBM used equipment switched out the hard drive for a...
