Hi all,
I have a friend who's in the market for a laptop, but he doesn't need the top of the line. Just for basic apps and CD burning. He is partial to the T series, but I couldn't spec out one in his price range. I guess what would be great is a low end T42, but there's only two of them on the web listing. Is there another place to look?
Thanks,

IBM certified used has T23s and T30s for sale with 3month warranty, which I think is extendable.

The link to their used section is right on the main page. www.ibm.com

Download the tabook.pdf and look at the available models, then you can call them or google the model for estimate pricing.

If you tell us what the price range is, we may be able to recommend some models.

I bought a refurbished T20 from

analogic.co.uk

a few months ago, and have used it almost every day, and it works superbly for everything I use it for (games mainly). I'd recommend it, and Analogic, no problem.

I'm not saying the T20 is the machine you're after, but the spec. is great for me (128MB, Win98SE, 20GB and a basic 3D card (Savage 3D) which allows me to run such great games as Half Life, Deus Ex, Unreal Tournament, Alien Vs. Predator, Duke Nukem 3D, Carmageddon (using a freeware Glide wrapper) and so on, with no problems at all. No newish games will run (Half Life 2, Doom 3, AvP 2 etc), but for the price I paid (£250) I am very pleased with the laptop, and it's done everything I wanted it to).

Oh, and I managed to download the drivers OK too, as the laptop came with no driver disk, though there were some drivers in a folder on the C: drive (I still downloaded them from the WWW site (found via a google.com search), as of course it's good practise to download the latest drivers. I repartitioned the drive and installed a stack of games and emulators and utilities and everything worked fine.

I just got a T30 certified used on wednesday. 775 US, So far so good. It has a new LCD and it looks like they refinish the outer case, no scratches.
