Thinking of getting an IBM Thinkpad T42p ...

Intel® Pentium® M Processor 765 2.10GHz
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
1 GB Memory, 60 GB HardDrive
15.0" 1600x1200
128MB ATI Mobility FIREGL T2
Ultrabay Slim DVD Recordable
Three years parts and labor (system battery: one year)
Integrated Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
56K V.92 designed modem, Bluetooth
IBM ESS 2.0 and Integrated fingerprint reader

for $2800 ... regular price: $4400...

It's got an integrated fingerprint reader? That's very cool. Instant Bond, James Bond.

How can i get that deal hehe

 

[MrChad]

That is a beast of a laptop.

 

[spunkz]

thinkpads have always been ugly. maybe its that ibm logo

 

[CraigRT]

no thanks, laptops are SO freaking expensive.
I could never justify that.
If I ever needed a laptop, I'd get an average P4 / Athlon laptop for like $1500 and be done with it.. but that's just me.

The only comparable eMachines is the M6810 which comes with 512 mb DDR ram (rather than 1GB), 60 GB 4600 RPM HD (rather than 7200 RPM), cdrw/dvd reader only (thinkpad comes with DVDRW), 64 mb ram video card (thinkpad comes with 128 ati mobility), 7.5 lbs (2 lbs heavier than the thinkpad), windows xp home (rather than pro) and doesn't have a fingerprint reader 😀

Besides, IBM Support > * and I'm sure tons of people would agree with me on that...

I rather pay $1300 more to IBM. Afterall, emachines is a gateway :laugh:

Btw, to the person asking about the deal: it's employee purchase program...

edit: and thinkpad has 1600x1200 max resolution.. emachines = 1280x800 max. and look at how frickin thick the eMachines is. jebus, it's like a folder, not a notebook 😛
