Description:
Incredibly compact and outfitted with a dazzling array of futuristic amenities, IBM's ThinkPad T40 (2373G3U) Notebook is a superb high-end mobile computer for those who prioritize portability, battery efficiency and wireless convenience. IBM's comforting three-year parts and labor warranty and 24/7 support is a substantial bonus. Driven by a 1.6 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 generous allotment of 512 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory, the ThinkPad T40 (2373G3U) is built to run most any standard mobile task. Even the system's 3D graphics controller -- an ATI Mobility FIRE GL 9000 with 64 MB dedicated video memory -- is no slouch. In fact, the system should have little problem efficiently displaying all but the most complex 3D games and applications. Tipping the scales at a scant 4.94 lbs. and measuring just 12.2 by 10.0 by 1.0 inches, the ThinkPad T40 (2373G3U) is exceptionally easy to transport and operate. IBM has equipped the unit with an surprisingly large 60 GB hard disk for your everyday file and program access, a CD-RW/DVD drive through which you can listen to and burn audio CDs and watch DVD movies, and a midsize 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 ThinkPad T40 (2373G3U) 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. Connectivity 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 a stunning 7.0 hours under ideal conditions.
