If you are a student, i believe you could get the laptop for a lower, educational price at your school's computer store.

Prices don't seem to be better than the employee one... more expensive...

uc berkeley computer store doesnt carry ibm notebooks =(

i recently got the IBM X31 for $1000. however, this T41 looks really nice for $1750.

//krunk (^_^x)

The X31 for $1000 was a great deal, unfortunately they either sold out of them or discontinued the offer.

I forgot to mention that orders for these laptops get free shipping, but have to pay tax in most states (OR is an exception, maybe one more ??).

For shizzle this is hot!!!!

I'm not a student nor an employee so I gots to be hooked up

Time to upgrade from the X20 of years gone past

They also have the T40 w/ SXGA+ (1400x1050), 1.4Ghz, 256mb RAM for $1664.10 (see 2379D6U), with normal IBM web price of $1849. Not as big of savings, but still a pretty good deal for an SXGA+ laptop...

 

[manly]

Don't know if this is a sweet deal, but you need an SXGA+ display at nearly $2K.

I forgot to mention that the EPP site is for employees, family and friends which means that anyone can purchase from the site and warranty will still apply.

Last time, it was around $1376 something. I suggest to hold.

How good is the Mobility Radeon 7500? Can it at least play Warcraft 3 decently?

I'm not sure about warcraft 3, but the Radeon 7500 can kick some serious butt running Quake III

i have and radeon 7000... it runs war3 just fine without any OCing.. (30+ fps) however with oc.. oh yea baby! (60+ fps)

the T41 is one hot notebook, its really nice, pretty compact for what it's got packaged into it, only an inch thick, and it's batt life is awesome.. very nice deal for the T41

Cool! My friend just bought an iBook with Radeon 9000 and he said that War3 was kinda laggy so I wasn't sure how the performance would be on a PC laptop. Well, since the 7500 is good enough for War3, the 9000 should be even nicer. Well, I just want a nice thin laptop and something like Doom3 isn't what I expect to play on it anyway. Being able to play some RTS games is a nice bonus.

 

[mercuryswitch]

yea, the T41 would be just fine for that you said you will do.
