could i purchase this laptop from you for say



$300 dollars bucks?

11/15/2007 4:39:13 PM

...no.


They are going for much more than that on e-bay - take a look and you'll see my price is pretty reasonable.

11/15/2007 4:55:08 PM

Why are these things sooo darn expensive?!?!? I work on a T40 here at IBM and it sucks. It looks like the most archaeic laptop I've ever seen in my life.

11/15/2007 5:32:57 PM

its built with good ass shit

11/15/2007 5:34:00 PM

I guess that's what it is. I mean, for it to hold all these damn programs mine has on it, I guess so. But damn you'd think IBM could make more modern looking computers. My shit is black and square and old ass keyboard. ARCHAEIC in its finest. Honestly, this is a MULTI TRILLION $$$ corporation and they can't provide better looking, more sleek laptops??? C'mon now. Even the desk tops are horrible. THe screens are like 27'' TVs. HORRENDOUS.

11/15/2007 5:44:31 PM

^ Yeah, I agree they are bland, plain, ugly computers but they are a work horse and take a beating! They are also built like tanks!

If you ever take apart a Lenovo/IBM you can really tell a difference in the quality and construction compared to say a Dell.

The Z-series last year were pretty sweet - they had an aluminum colored top bezel, widescreen - they kind of resembled the consumer line of Lenovo laptops C3xxx series.

lol

11/15/2007 7:11:06 PM

^^yup, built to work even after taking a beating.

Wouldn't trade my T42p for anything (except, of course, a newer IBM).

And to be fair, a T40 is, what, 4 years old? Of course, they still look the same today. But IBM laptops are for people who care about durability and performance. If you want sleek, get a Sony.

11/16/2007 1:19:03 AM

^^^^

I've got one of these (z61t) and the thing is fucking solid as hell. ThinkPads are where its at.

11/16/2007 1:21:24 AM

Shit, if i was in the market I might buy but i'm not.
I adore the T60p that is my work computer. That shit is sweet.

11/16/2007 7:56:26 AM

^^my sister has the Z61.

bluetooth and everything.

its a solid peice of machinery

11/16/2007 8:25:51 AM

the only thing about ibm I've always hated is the smaller arrow keys.

id gladly take an 'archaeic' thinkpad over most other laptops. Those things are tanks. I couldnt care less if my laptop looks cool if it runs as well as any thinkpad ive used.

11/16/2007 10:02:44 AM

^if that's all you've got to complain about...

(free bump, wish i had the $)

11/16/2007 10:03:40 AM

that wolfpackgrl is the same loser who was bitching at someone for spending $100 on running shoes when they could have bought tims and air force 1s.


so please dont listen to anything she says

11/16/2007 10:42:05 AM

Yes, she is the same girl in message_topic.aspx?topic=501310


She is passing drunknloaded on the retard scale here. Damn.

11/16/2007 10:50:37 AM

Just like LadyWolff -- I use a T60p daily and love it. Great deal for someone needing a solid lappy.

11/16/2007 10:52:09 AM

b u m p

11/16/2007 2:10:20 PM

STFU baonest.

I actually use a T40 every day all day to work. So I have first-hand experience.


But anyway, I don't necessarily want a SLEEK one or whatever just because it looks good. I like my T40, but it just looks hideous. I know it's a great computer. I've never had any problems with it AT ALL. And at times, I have like 10 different programs running at once to do my work (Lotus Notes, Notesbuddy/Same Time, CFTs, PACT, CLAIM, etc.) and it runs great.

11/16/2007 4:16:24 PM

Not trying to be a bitch, but at the end of the day (keeping in mind you paid $TEXAS$ for this CRAP laptop), it is still an IBM. Wow.


Can't believe you paid $1500...I could buy like 3 Gateways or a NICE Compaq

11/16/2007 5:03:37 PM

^There is no such thing as a NICE Compaq. Gateways aren't bad but they don't stack up to a ThinkPad either. And if you think that is a CRAP laptop, then, you obviously don't know laptops and I shouldn't waste my time, should I?

11/16/2007 5:22:08 PM

The best plan is to get a $800 Dell laptop and get a new one every 1 or 2 years.

wowzers. thats pretty good.

i also use the T40 for work, and the R51 for home, and my sisters Z61 oh, and the X tablet when i goto the library (which is too much hype BTW).

so yeah... i think i should stfu?

Ya think? I had an X41 tablet for work for about a year, and loved it. The tablet functionality was great for taking notes in meetings/classes/etc and just doing all sorts of things that are easier to express freehand. Granted, the handwriting recognition couldn't decipher my chickenscratch, but... I guess that's really a matter of personal preference though.

11/17/2007 12:37:39 PM

well ive always wanted to try them when they came out. then the library got a hold of some.

i dont know. i mean, its smaller compared to my other laptops. and the whole tablet thing i didnt get.

its a cool idea, but i didnt know how to use it when you just had the tablet on. i know there is a keyboard on the screen but it wouldnt pop up.

i still use it when i go. but im glad i didnt buy one before trying it out at the library

11/17/2007 8:09:12 PM

bump...come on this is a good deal...compare to prices on ebay!

11/18/2007 7:59:46 PM

I'm interested... considering that this is 1.5 yrs old, I think $650 is rather steep. I offer $400.. but I am contemplating buying a new sony viao for $800.. (don't bother comparing, I already own a T41p)

11/19/2007 11:17:40 AM

....$400 and don't compare a T41 to a T60? Don't worry...I wouldn't waste my time.

11/19/2007 4:32:48 PM

I meant comparing Sony to IBM.. anyways, I'll keep this in mind. How low can you go? (You mentioned O.B.O)

11/19/2007 5:03:49 PM

SOLD!!!
