Where to buy T43p

#1 Post by bimmer » Fri May 13, 2005 12:15 am

This may be a stupid question but where can I look at and purchase T43p's?

I've looked all over IBM's site and haven't found much on where I can purchase these. Do I have to call to order one?

Thanks for any help,
bimmer

Looks like the transition to Lenovo has not completed yet, you can no longer search on the education site!

Otherwise, you can get a good price there if you are a student.

Previous: 390E, 600E, T23, X30, T40 ......

Look at? Very few places unless you're a student and your school has a display.

Purchase? Try your forum host here, Bill Morrow. E-mail is bill@thinkpads.com

When I say look at I mean on the internet (specs, prices, etc.) sorry if that wasn't clear.

My dad works for IBM so I will be getting an employee discount so I was wondering where I could find these on the IBM webpage

ibm screwed up their web site BIG TIME..
they don't have even half of whast is available, posted there..
of course, if you know the "secret" links you can get specs on most anything, but no pricing..
this deterioration started last year..

with luck, lenovo will do better..

meantime, for you, gram the TA Book (link on my web site) and find the model you want..

they are ALL thwere..
too many IMO but then i'm not running the production lines..

Hi Bill,
Many links in your FAQ don't work due to IBM->Lenovo transition.

Last year I was even able to get the pricing for every model in TABOOK
through some "secret" links. Not anymore as you said.

Also, open bay models are not included in the TABOOK for some reason :!:

Do you mean the FAQ here or one on thinkpads.com? I'll be glad to update the FAQ here if someone has the new Lenovo links (the old IBM ones are still working for now - I just checked them).
