T42 Model Breakdown

[mr2nr]

I'm currently looking for a nice T42 on Ebay but need the on board Bluetooth and would like the fingerprint scanner. Is there model numbers I should be looking for? A nice model breakdown would be appreciated .

Blue Ray was not offered on any T4x, or for that fact T6x series.

Fingerprint reader was introduced with T42/p, but these units are not easy to come by. Maybe one in 50 machines will have it, if that many.

Breakdown of models...not likely. When you include all the corporate sub-versions, you're looking at thousands of variations.

Sorry I meant Bluetooth.

Well if anybody has a T42 with both options could you please post your model number

I'm looking at one right now...2373-M1U...that's a 14" SXGA+ but there are many other versions.

What LCD size are you looking for? What are you willing to spend?

I don't care if its 14 or 15. I have seen some go for sub 200$ but where missing the bluetooth or the finger scanner so around that.

In that case, you should look no further than this:

A fully loaded machine with a FlexView LCD...doesn't get much better than that, especially not in the given price range...
