Is it a good deal?

[thinkweird]

Today I ordered my T43p on the phone and I was asked to give the my credit number and the three digits on the back of the card.

It is my first time purchasing something on the phone so I am wondering whether the sales representative will abuse my information and just use my card to purchase something?

The configuration of the machine is the following for $1500, is it a good deal?

• Intel® Pentium® M Processor 760 (2GHz)[2]
• Genuine Windows® XP Professional
• Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG, Bluetooth[14]
• 1GB DDR2 SDRAM memory[3]
• 80GB 5400rpm hard drive[4]
• 6.10lbs., (W)12.2" x (D)10" x (H)1"

• 15.0" UXGA TFT (1600x1200) display
• DVD burner
• Integrated Fingerprint Reader
• 128MB ATI Mobility FireGL V3200 graphics
• Integrated Gigabit Ethernet and modem
• 9 cell Lithium-Ion battery[13]
• 3-year system/1-year battery limited warranty[8]

Sounds good.
Did you get the FlexView display?

I was wondering, if the T41/p. T42/p, T43/p cooling systems are similar (heatsink, heat produced by north/south bridges)

From which system you're upgrading?

Yes it is Flexview display. I never owned a laptop before so there is no such thing as upgrading.

I’d be real interested in hearing your thoughts on this unit once you receive it. I’m on the cusp of ordering the same but am a little concerned about the high screen resolution. I like the idea of the Flexview screen but being I’m pushing fifty my eyes are not what they used to be. I set my home monitor to the same 1600x1200 resolution, and yep, the fonts were pretty small, and that was on a 19 inch monitor. It can only be even worse on a 15 inch. I have read a lot of threads on similar subject and I get the impression that the resolution can be set to a lesser setting but some have said it can get blurry. Is it any different than what I experience on my home CRT? It looks fine there.

Where did you order it from? Lenovo directly or a third party?
