IBM Thinkpad T40 1.5GHz Pentium M Laptop (Refurbished)

Rating

My last notebook was an old IBM ThinkPad and it still works fine. The only reason I upgraded to the T40 is that my 600 just can't handle the processor-intensive software that I use. The T40 has lived up to my expectations of an IBM product ,and then some! I am very pleased and feel very comfortable in recommending this ThinkPad to anyone. Sure, it's a factory-refurbished product, but with my previous experience with IBM, I had no concerns at all. Want a great rugged little (and THIN!) notebook? Get a ThinkPad!

I'm totally not a tech geek. A friend of mine had to hook this up for me. It took him a little time b/c IBM has some admin software that does something with the wireless [connection]. I don't know. But I know HOW to use it! And it works great!! I bought this b/c my classes are now video-streamed so I needed a laptop with enough [whatever] to get high speed data / video and could be connected thru my television to watch class. It's totally lightweight, works really well and probably does MUCH more than I will ever ask of it. He also told me that it did not come loaded with software - like Word and such - that he loaded for me. I'm just putting this info on here b/c I always thought computers came "fully loaded." I can't be the only one who thinks that. But he said it was easy enough to load up, hook up and work.

This computer is great if you just want something to access the internet with. I was able to take it out of the box and be online in minutes. The computer looked brand new, only thing missing was an instruction manuel. Best of all it does not use Vista operating system. Very good buy for the money.

This is my first laptop, and I feel that I made a wonderful choice with this IBM Thinkpad. I really wanted a laptop that ran Windows XP, not Vista. This laptop gave me the operating system that I wanted at a price that was amazing. I was a bit skeptical with a refurbished item, but I took a chance and I'm so glad that I did! (I also picked up the extended warranty, just in case I would need it down the road) My laptop is perfect. It worked right out of the box and I haven't had any issues with it, and I've been using it for over a month. I'm astonished at its speed for a laptop - this thing has power. I've had several programs running at once and I haven't had any problems. Anyone who wants the flexibility of a laptop and not the high price tag should really look into this item - it is outstanding!!! Buying this was money well spent!
