Hello. I'm a Dell owner seeking to convert. I have seen on eBay auctions for "u;tra thin" T42s, but shoppoing the Lenovo website, I cannot tell how to end up with a unit that is only 1" thin. Most units I see state s size close to 1.4." Does a 1" thin version with 15" SXGA+ screen, exist for a 1.7 - 1.86Ghx T43?

TIA
anthony

The T42s and the T43s are the same size. The 14" screen model is thinner, tapering from 1.2" to 1", the 15" is 1.4-1.2" from what I remember of the specs.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Did not realize there was a taper factor.

Does the 9 cell extended life battery increase the thickness?

No, just the "depth" of the laptop. It extends out the back a bit.
