I am getting a T42p as a brand new replacement (not refurbished) for another T40.

Here are the specs:
P M 745, 1GB RAM (1 sodimm), 60GB 7200rpm HDD, 14.1 SXGA+(1400x1050) TFT LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL T2, CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner(slim), IBM 802.11a/b/g wireless(MPCI), Bluetooth/Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), UltraNav, Secure Chip, 9 cell Li-Ion battery, WinXP Pro

How much is it worth? A caveat is that the warranty is not 3 years, but the remainder of the T40 which is till sept 2006. Can they actually "transfer" warranties like that? I just hope that there's enough red-tape involved in the process that they'll forget to do it:) Also, can I still buy extended warranties for it?

I have not received it yet. But if I decide to sell it, anybody here interested? I'll throw in an extra powerbrick, a really long power cord, and perhaps a 256MB PC2100 SOdimm (will it work at PC2700 speeds)?

Thanks a lot!

A T42P as replacement for a T40 is one hell of a replacement deal !!! How did you manage that ????

I would check e-bay, IBM student or VISA / Matercard discount prices.

Then price it about $100 - $150 below average selling cost. Then someone will snatch it in no time.
