Hi there, I hope you can give some ideas on what to try... Someday (a couple of months back) each time I inserted or removed my power supply the laptop froze. I never could make out what the problem was. (R51 2888-Y25, upgraded with 2200bg, 60gig 7200rpm, 1gig RAM) The last 2 months I have installed...

well this is dissapointing...

The company where I wanted to buy the second R51, said it was a typo... this machine is indeed a SXGA version and costs 1745 and not 1445 Euros...

darn, what a let down... I should have known... too good to be true.

I settled with Nr. 1

I have to decide between these 2 R51's: 1) R51 2888Y25WLAN Intel Pentium M Processor 735 1.70 GHz 256 MB PC 333 DDR RAM 40,0 GB ATA-100 4200rpm 15\" TFT XGA (1024x768); CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo V Intel Extreme Graphic2, Shared Memory V.92 Modem (56 Kbps Data, 14,4 Kbps Fax), Ethernet 10/100/1000 Integrat...

Hasnt anybody got any insight on this matter?

Ive been wondering: the higher models with 735+ cpu's all come with a premium. So I thought, what would happen, if I bought a standard R51 (centrino 715 with 512mb ram) for 1100€ and then buy an intel 745 processor, 512 mb ram and a 7k hardrive for all approx 500€. So I'end up with a pretty high end...

Hi, can somebody help me out as I've been reading and getting diffrent information concerning the warranty epacs from IBM. As I'm planning on buying a R51 which only come with 1 year warranty, Id like to know my options concerning the extension to a full 3 year warranty. Some resellers say, you have...

oh my,

I'd be saving an arm and a leg if I lived in the states. Bills's deal is great.
In mainland Europe these machines cost 1000Euros / 1300US$ more!!!!

Only if I werent on such a tight budget. Time to finish college and get a job

Hi Bill,

well thanks

Then I'll go with the R51. Not much else which is compareable in that pricerange.

Hello Bill, Im refering to the T41 2373-2GG and for the R51 1829-K6G. That t42 sounds very interresting. Can you tell me where this one can be bought, because its sounds like a terrific deal. The thing is that I need a german version of this laptop (2373-K9G). So if I can get this laptop in Europe f...

Thank you for your reply and thanks for pointing out that the T series build quality is not the same as the 600 series. I was assuming it was almost the same.

Concerning the warranty. I was the opinion that you had to buy the warranty extension within 30 days of purchase, is this not true?

Hi, first post for me :) Im in the process of getting my first new laptop. I have had the honour with an IBM 600 and it still amazes me with its quality and ruggedness. my budget for the laptop is max 1300Euro. The main reason for buying the laptop is to replace my rather large setup of audio equipm...
