Seems like about a standard price to me.

 

[khunkami]

why does the ebay selling price is alway Way too lower than retail price?

T43's retail price is 2100$ USD.

The t43 is an awesome laptop. I wish I would have found one for that price before buying my dell.
It's the full size laptop that we buy at work now, I have set up probably 50-100 of them, and never had much of any problems whatsoever. Just a few random things which were not major problems.

Great buy.

I just got a T43 as a replacement for a Toshiba 2100. Never had any problems with the 2100, but the company paid, so....

So far, I love the Thinkpad. But I've only had it for a little over a month. Light weight, fast, easy to configure. The only complaint is that the company didn't spring for any port replicators, keyboard, mouse, etc. so I have to plug in all that stuff when I'm in the office. At home, I don't bother.

Got my dad T42 for christmas. Never seen a such a beautiful thing. Very thin, awesome battery life, etc.

GO FOR IBM!!!

<3 thinkpads i have a T-41p Love it to death. Only way im gonna part with it is when they make a newer T series.

But i heard the T43 has issues with replacing Hard drives. So i would do some research on it b4 u decide to go off and buy a bigger hard drive.

 

[khunkami]

it has only 40gb.
but it doesnt matter to me.
i use external hard drive @ home
