Dimensions of 15" T42p

#1 Post by longfellow » Wed Jan 12, 2005 12:55 pm

IBM Web site says the dimensions of 15" T42p as follows:
Height 1.2 in
Depth 10.6 in
Width 13.0 in

My question as many of you may have guessed by now...the depth 10.6" includes the protruding (or extending whatever you call) 9-cell battery? If no..then can any of T42p owner can answer me the exact dimensions of the machine including the extended battery?

The web site is wrong. It is 13 x 11.5" x 1.2 with the extended battery.

Brenthaven Slim case

#4 Post by longfellow » Thu Jan 13, 2005 12:32 am

E Gibbs or any one can tell me....

If I buy 15" T42p will it fit into the brenthaven slim case?

Because the laptop compartment size mentioned in the brenthaven web site is: 12 3/4" X 11" X 2 1/4". And E Gibbs says the T42p dimentions are: 13" X 11.5" X 1.2". If it does not fit then why this option is listed when I customize a T42p 15" model in IBM web site? Has anyone bought this case for a 15" T42p?

I want this info bcoz I like the brenthaven case very much.

I just checked the Brenthaven site and I would say no - both the length and width seem wrong. It looks like only the Oversize case would hold a 15" T42p.
