2373KTU on the way! What can I expect?

#1 Post by 2112 » Wed Aug 18, 2004 3:22 pm

I should be receiving my new machine within a week....can I expect to get the Thailand keyboard and Samsung LCD? I've read posts where they have phased out the lesser quality parts, is this true? Are the ID tech panels inferior or are they more apt to have dead pixels? I will get the keyboard replaced if I have too (sounds like there is a noticable difference), but the LCD? Hopefully IBM just remedied the issue! Thanks for any input :lol:

I don't know about your other questions, but the ThinkLight on my T40 works very well in low-light conditions.

Best combination of performance and size. I'm constantly amazed at how thin and light the T4xp is compared to other non-IBM laptops.
