Looks like T41 will be discontinued by the end of this month: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitu ... indexw.pdf

Discounts?

#2 Post by boardmonger » Tue Jul 20, 2004 2:48 pm

Does anyone know if this means they might discount the T41 or X31?

I haven't been around ThinkPad’s enough to see a product discontinued. I know when they come out with new models the price doesn't seem to change, but I am still trying to decide between a T42 and T41p, so if the price changes it might sway me towards the T41p. :D

Looks like the T41p will continue for awhile...

I guess you can expect a price drop on the T41s...but not the T41p yet...

But IBM has reduced the T41p's price on there website...as well as the refurbished ones...

I also had a hard time between T42 or T41p...Loving the T41p...

Discontinuing the X31 would be a fatal error imo.. the X40 isn't a worthy successor, it's more like an addition to the series.

Don't worry, it's still a good deal. Even IBM's final price (with the current sale) for a refurb T41p is about $2050 (with 5% tax).

Don't forget that IBM has 7 days money back guaranty on refurb models.
What the hell is "fs" and "wtb"?

So they might be introducing a new model to the T series...because when they discontinued the T40, the T42 came out.
