IBM ThinkPad T40 Review

by Carla Thornton

- WHAT'S HOT: The new ThinkPad T40 is IBM's best one-bay notebook yet, and not just because it takes all its predecessor's best features and adds a faster processor. It boasts the T30's impressive combination of a big screen, multiple flavors of wireless readiness, and dual pointing devices in a slim notebook. Its modular bay can host a combination DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, a Zip drive, a second hard drive or battery, or a floppy drive. What's more, you can specify an 80GB hard drive and up to 2GB of system memory. At 5.4 pounds (without add-ons like an adapter) and a thickness of one inch, it's even skinnier than the T30.

Overall Evaluation: Most every computer in the lap top series is manufactured in China ar another far east country. By choosing a repudable dealer you lesson your chances for
