Can that video card be upgraded or no?

Not that I know of, i think its integrated on the motherboard.

The last game i played with it was C&C Generals @ 800x600 and it played pretty decent.

Can someone tell me why a T30 can go for $560, but T42s are almost $1200? I dont really understand the difference.

I guess I am seeing T42s also for $900, if you happen to get a good deal, and T40s for $700. I guess its just a matter of getting the right specs and a reliable seller.

Demand.? I think T42s are the most popular model around.

Answered your own Question.

For used laptops or even new ones, you got to read the fine print.

Some T30s can be had for $399 for a decent one but they often only include 256 megs ram, slow 4200 40 gig, no wifi and only a dvd-rom. and most have 3 year old batteries that can only hold half the rated capacity at that point.

I have also seen some T40's for 700 but again it's the same deal with features and specs.

The difference lies in the specs.

T30 = Pentium 4-m

Centrino:
T40 = Banis Core (sp?)
T4x = Dothan Core (I think)

Technically a T23 /w a P3-m (Tutilun) Core could also be considered a Centrino class Core based on Core Designation Numbering. I think it goes 11, 13, 14 and so on.

Didn't mean to bump my own thread.
