T40 vs. T42???

[ivanis]

I am considering a offer from a company to buy a T 40 Thinkpad. But a friend of mine said, T 40 is no longer being produced since 2003 and something is wrong with that offer. Is this right?
Is there any big differencies between T40 and T42??

Thanks

No, the T40 was in production until early 2004 even though the T41 was introduced in late 2003.

Depending on the model selected, nothing beyond an upgraded CPU and GPU.

A T40 is an eminently usable machine, it's what I'm using to type this!

My girlfriend bought a T40 less than half a year ago, and it works just fine.

I bought a T42 afterwards, hoping that there were some improvements - as far as I can tell, there are none. So basically, I paid some extra money for a newer model name

Both great machines, BTW.
