I got my T43p today. It is simply awesome. The most amazing thing about it is the screen. It is absolutely flawless! There are no dead pixels or fingerprints on it (like there were on my brand new HP from factory.) It simply amazes me how IBM can pull off such quality on a 1600x1200 resolution screen! I also for what its worth haven't had any fan problems yet, except for it blasting it when I turn it on. But that's not that annoying really at all. The screen has no color problems that I have seen yet and has a termendous viewing angle. How out of curiosity do I do the scan to see what type of keyboard I have. whatever it is it is absolutely suprub.

Three thumbs up!

I had purchased 12 laptops of different bands(3 of them are HP) in last year, never seem any fingerprint on the screens.

Congratulations on your new T43p; I am sure you will love it just like I love mine.

I wouldn't have minded fingerprints on the screen of my old HP ze5170, but it had a worse problem; namely, its BIOS version was 1 year old off the shelf already and would hand 1/3, later 2/3, times you went to boot it.

What is the model number? I think T43p is the last true IBM.

my keyboard is a 39T0674 39T0704 KEYBOARD FRU
The laptop is a 2687D5U.

I got an HP a few years ago and the screen was covered in fingerprints. Ugh.

One other question. Sometimes when the machine is running on battery there's a strange sound from where the ESC key is thats kind of like, and yes, i'm being serious. A cricket. It gets faster when I move the mouse or really whenever the screen changes. any ideas??? My old laptop used to do this sometimes but it made a squeaking noise and it was fixed with a BIOS update. This is more annoying.

Also I have yet to figure out how I can swipe my finger to fill out a web form as I believe I saw on IBMs site.

Thanks for the help...

Try toggling the Power Scheme in the Power Manager; that usually gets rid of that kind of buzzing noise (suspected to be either the inverter for the LCD or a transformer hitting a particular resonance frequency). HTH

wow. somehing must be wrong. up to 15 times from my post a few seconds ago. when it goes off, moving the panel doesn't affect it.

ryan,

when you mentioned about filling up web forms using the fingerprint...i'm assuming you're refering to the client security password manager?

I took a while to figure it out

I didn't read instructions but played by trial and error
hehe..anyway, go to a page, for example your webmail.

Then open up the password manager.

Next, type in the password manager your password, for example.

After that, click and drag the crosshair to the password slot in your webmail..it will fill up the slot.

Do the same for the username. I did it for some webpages.
I just press ctrl + F2 at the webpage, swipe my finger and it fills up the user name + password slots

Hope this helps..but if i've gone on the wrong topic or direction..my apologies..hehe

That is pretty much how it works out, yup

You can use a keyboard shortcut, (Ctrl+Shift+G) to bring it up and have it enter the information or hit Ctrl+Shift+H and then type out the info and drag it to the correct box; you can then save that entry quickly and on the fly as it were.
