Description:
Incredibly small and lightweight when compared to the majority of notebooks and backed by IBM's comforting three-year no-hassle warranty, the ThinkPad T40 Notebook is the ideal mobile computer for those who prioritize durability and portability. Powered by a 1.5 GHz Intel Pentium M processor, 256 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory and a 32 MB ATI Mobility RADEON 7500 graphics chipset, the ThinkPad T40 is built to efficiently run most standard mobile tasks. Those who regularly push the capabilities of their notebook--gamers, 3-D animators, ardent multi-taskers, and the like--would do well to look at one of IBM's more upscale ThinkPads. Tipping the scales at a scant 4.9 pounds and measuring just 15 by 10 by 1 inches, the unit is easy to carry and easy to operate in most any circumstance. Its amenities, however, are somewhat ordinary when compared to similarly priced systems. IBM has equipped the ThinkPad T40 with an adequate 40 GB hard drive for your everyday file and program access, an 8X DVD-ROM drive for playing but not recording home videos and movies, and a standard 14.1-inch TFT viewing screen. The obvious upside to the display is its maximum resolution--at 2048 by 1536 it offers a highly detailed perspective of your applications. Other perks include a full-size keyboard, a handy ThinkPad UltraNav pointing device, two high-speed USB 2.0 ports for fast interaction with plug and play peripherals such as external drives and digital cameras, and support for separately available port replicators and docking stations. Connectivity options include a low-speed 56K fax/modem, an RJ-45 Ethernet connector for high-speed Internet, email and network access, and facilities for wireless Wi-Fi equipment. Battery life is estimated at an impressive 5.4 hours under ideal conditions.
