To get an idea of the price-level for T42p's in the USA, check the eBay auction - ending in 7 hours!; a 14.1" 1.8 GHz T42p with these specs:

Product: ThinkPad T42p 2373-GVU

Original description: P M 745, 512MB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HDD, 14.1 SXGA+(1400x1050) TFT LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL T2, 24x24x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD(slim), IBM 802.11a/b/g wireless(MPCI), Bluetooth/Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), UltraNav, Secure Chip, 9 cell Li-Ion battery, WinXP Pro

... which has been upgraded to 1.5 GB RAM. Even has Microsoft Office 2003, remaining warranty, which can be further extended. Worldwide shipping! NB: The original 9-cell battery has been replaced by a 6-cell, it seems. More quote: "The LCD has no dead pixels, great keyboard"...

Current price: $ 371,- (and, yes, 7 hours yet to go, but still...!). Hmmm... where and when will this ever be cheaper??

Best regards,

Johan

Thanks, but I was too slow... Hope that wasn't the only inexpensive T42p. I have to look more often those attractive bids.
