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!

This is not the fastest laptop I've ever used but for under $400.00 it is a good value. The battery was DOA but a simple online chat with an Overstock CSR resolved the problem. They shipped me a new (refurbished) battery the next day. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
I just got my thinkpad in the mail yesterday. I plugged it in and went right to work on it....no problems whatsoever. It looks in brand-new condition....you would never know it was refurbished.
This has turned out to be a good bread-and-butter laptop at a great price. It arrived promptly, configured as advertised and in good working condition, with all the hardware and drivers installed properly and all components functioning correctly. Setup was pretty easy, although I did have to do some simple housekeeping (cleaning up old files and software, etc.). This was nothing particularly difficult or beyond what I expected to do on a reconditioned machine. I've used it for a few weeks for light office work, field presentations and general mobile Web surfing and it has performed very well. The only limitation I've found is that the wireless card isn't compatible with the newest wireless security and isn't supported by the OEM anymore. This could cause some folks problems, depending on how they want to use their laptop, but it isn't a problem for me.
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.
