Refurbished IBM t40

[comrade]

I'm about to purchase a refurbished t40 from newegg.
1) Anyone has experienced with refurbished notebooks from them?
Also, it doesn't have any built-in wireless card.
2) Does this mean that my only option is to use a pc-card or..
anyone knows if it has the internal antenna built to the screen in so I can use an intenal card such as intel bg2200? It doesn't specify whether or not if it's wi-fi upgradable.

All the T4x series have a built-in WiFi antenna. If you want internal wireless, you have to purchase the card from IBM, others will not work.

So, it's just a matter of buying an internal card and installing it, right?

Anyone has an experience with refurbished laptop with newegg?

Yeah, just buy a mini-PCI network card from IBM and follow the installation instructions in the Hardware Maintenance Manual or follow the installation movies.
