When the Hell are the Real T43s Coming?

#1 Post by rickslate » Thu Mar 31, 2005 10:43 pm

I've been checking IBM's site every week. I'm tired of seeing the same three 1024x768 models. When are the higher resolution (1400x1050) powerhouse T43s coming? When are they going to be customizable?

Any ideas? Neither the standard IBM store or SPP site have them. :evil:

The education site says 50 days. I mean T43P 15' models. For T43P 14' model, it is 20 days.

Just call them and order.

real experience shows that actual delivery time is much shorter....people with 2 weeks wait got they machine within 1 week of ordering.

The high res T43s have been out since Feb and and are listed "in stock" yet IBM does not post them on their online store?

Has IBM just lost interest in the PC business now that the sale is a few months away?

Nobody knows for sure I guess, but IBM could be trying to clear out the T42s, or maybe there aren't enough T43s for IBM to be comfortable posting them on their website (supplies of Sonoma chipsets still tight last I heard).

I called IBM yesterday regarding an order I placed for a T43p several weeks ago. He couldn't even give me an ETA, not that they are necessarily correct anyway. When I check the order status online it just says it's "in process". Seems kinda crazy considering Dell is shipping 2.13 GHz notebooks now.
I'm not sure if I'm wlling to wait more than another 2 weeks.
