Description:
No matter how specific your requirements, chances are IBM has a ready-made mobile computer to cover them. This model, the IBM ThinkPad T41 (23739HU) Notebook, targets the serious user. Featuring upscale perks such as one full GB of memory and Bluetooth facilities for communication with the new breed of wireless peripherals, the ThinkPad T41 (23739HU) delivers most everything a demanding executive needs, and wraps it all up in an extremely lightweight, eminently portable package. Driven by a top-of-the-line 1.7 GHz Intel Pentium M processor with Intel's new Centrino technology (Centrino processors offer improved battery life and more power than similarly rated non-Centrino CPUs) and a colossal 1 GB allotment of DDR SDRAM memory, the ThinkPad T41 (23739HU) will easily run virtually any task or any combination of tasks. The system's graphics controller, an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with 32 MB of dedicated video memory, will help power the unit through midlevel 3D applications and games but may have some trouble displaying a smooth frame rate when operating today's newest high-end 3D games and 3D design apps. Tipping the scales at a scant 4.5 lbs. and measuring just 12.2 by 10.0 by 1.0 inches, the ThinkPad T41 (23739HU) is exceptionally easy to transport and operate. IBM has equipped the unit with a large 60 GB hard disk for your everyday file and program access, a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive through which you can listen to and burn audio CDs and watch DVD movies, and a 14.1-inch TFT display screen (1400 by 1050 maximum resolution). In its stock configuration, the unit does not support DVD playing or CD burning, though other ThinkPads certainly do. The system is home to many unique and practical perks, including a nifty keyboard-illuminating ThinkLight for low-light situations, an S-Video out port, two high-speed USB 2.0 ports for fast interaction with external peripherals, and a full-size keyboard featuring IBM's user-friendly ThinkPad UltraNav multi-pointing system. An IEEE 1394 FireWire connection, typically used for downloading data from digital camcorders, is not part of the package. Communication options include a low-speed 56K fax/modem, a super-fast Intel/PRO 1000 Gigabit Ethernet Ethernet connector for incrementally faster network access than traditional LAN technology, and IBM 11a/b Wi-Fi Wireless and Bluetooth. Battery life is estimated at an admirable 4.3 hours under ideal conditions.
