I guess Bill will have T43s in stock on February? If so, I hope there's a good discount because IBM CANADA is really pricey and I don't want to buy from them.

it is hard to say. when I order my T30. some model aviliable. but the one I order which got 1400x1050, wifi, bluetooth...etc. It takes 3 months to have it in US. I don't know about new T series

Champ · #64 Post by **Champ** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 12:36 am

3 months since ordered? that's the longest build time I've heard

This thread is like an early Christmas for me. I've been waiting for news on the T43 since August. A new Thinkpad will be mine in February.

Out of curiosity, do you guys think there would be any advantage in terms of build quality if I were to wait until March to make the order?

rocketman · #66 Post by **rocketman** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 9:25 am

Will all of the T43's have 128mb vram video cards or will some still have 64mb vram cards?

Does anybody know if these new t43s come with the 'old" VGA output, or if they have (finally) a DVI included?

Thanks.

you know, even with the fancy Pentium M 2.1,

My 701C will still boot up faster

(currently timed at 2.5sec from lever pull to total completion)

Most WH models are 64MB, a few high-end WH models are 128MB and all P's are 128MB.

its not a major revamp right? just parts swap basically?

fuze · #75 Post by **fuze** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 5:19 pm

Thanks for the info! Looking forward to see the upcoming T43(p) ThinkPads based on Sonoma/Alviso.

What about weight? Are we still talking 2200 grams (14") and 2600 grams (15") ?

Cronus71 · #76 Post by **Cronus71** » Wed Dec 22, 2004 4:48 am

The Global Model Plus T43p will have a 4 year CCR/OS Warranty. Not sure about the benefits to the end user really. I think it must be some sort of "buy-back" strategy on IBM's behalf.

Well, I questioned this, from the ThinkPad Brand, and was told - "The 4yr warranty models will be the GMP models only. I haven't received any further details on these as yet and as normal, all announcements are subject to change."

mmeier · #77 Post by **mmeier** » Wed Dec 22, 2004 7:45 am

any informations about more TP´s with the 915 Chipset?

the x- series?????

Esteban · #78 Post by **Esteban** » Thu Dec 23, 2004 2:49 pm

What speed difference would you expect from a new T43 vs. a similar T42 if all other things were equal?

I'm holding off buying a T42 2378fvu because the T43s will be available soon. A T43 2668-4EU seems to fill a similar place in the Work Horse line.

The T43 2668-4EU comes with 14.1” SXGA+, Pentium M processor 750 (1.8GHz, 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache), Win XP Pro, 40GB 5400rpm, 6-cell Li-Ion, modem, Gigabit, ESS, M22-64MB VRAM Centrino a/b/g, 512MB, Combo, Bluetooth, FPR.

Thanks Cronus71 for sharing the new model specs.

Edit: The Inquirer http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=20197
posted an Intel Roadmap showing that the Pentium 750 will have 1.86MHz

Intel will introduce the 770, a 2MB 2.13GHz Pentium M with a 533MHz bus at $640, as well as a 2AGHz 533MHz 2MB (760) chip at $420, a 1.86GHz "750" at $295, a 1.73GHz "740" at $240, and a 1.60GHz 533MHz chip - the "730" at $210

T43 will be product by Lenovo?

rocketman · #80 Post by **rocketman** » Thu Dec 23, 2004 3:57 pm

Well my 30 day return privilege has come and gone two days ago. I was seriously considering returning my 2379-R9U considering the T43's are just around the corner but this T42 has been such a pleasure to use I decided to keep it. For my needs I doubt the improvements will mean enough to me to give up such a great machine. The display is absolutely beautiful, when I put it up to my new Powerbook it makes the Powerbooks display look fuzzy and dim, thats how clear and bright the 15" flexview display is. Everythings running fast and smooth, all in all a great experience.

IBM won't have regulatory approval for the sale until April 2005. So in the meantime, can rest assured that the T43/T43p will be produced in Q1 as the last of the IBM line...

Figure 2005Q1 ThinkPads could become collectors' items... lol

I'd be interested in the next generation X-series as well. Just today IBM Canada unloaded a few top of the line X31s (15) and older T-series stock. Makes me think that something is coming down the pipe, sooner than we may think?

Wonder what's in place for the X-series. The X40 for $999Cdn today was an excellent deal, but I just can't justify purchasing one other than to satisfy my own want. Already have a T42.

My next Thinkpad will be the smaller X-series, I know that much, to compliment the T42 I have now. Just not now.....grrr.

I have X40 and good machine,Canadian and I get it 2K+%18 WAT

But I did not understand Why you compliment the T42 you have now ?

Cronus71 · #86 Post by **Cronus71** » Sat Dec 25, 2004 5:37 pm

I'm a bit tipsy right now..looked for the thread about WS, wanted to tell you guys, that there will be two TP widescreen models during '05, could be old news to you already.

Also, there will be a X32...again, could be old news...

Cronus71 · #87 Post by **Cronus71** » Sat Dec 25, 2004 5:51 pm

do you have some more detailed specs for the WS and the x32?

or some ppt slides?

when will IBM launch the T50 Tablet PC ?

efan · #89 Post by **efan** » Sat Jan 01, 2005 12:56 pm

How about Flexview for T43?

will Flexview be available for a 14in display?

#90 Post by **K. Eng** » Sun Jan 02, 2005 3:44 pm

Everything I have read in the news says that ICH6-M and its associated goodies (Azalia audio, etc) are part of the Alviso chipset.

For example: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=20344 on December 22nd 2004 reported:

Sonoma will bring DDR 2, PCI Express marchitecture, S-ATA drives and better audio to Pentium M laptops. It will feature Azalia-like high definition audio.

And I know that HDD makers have had their SATA notebook drives prepped for some time.

Where did you learn that the T43 won't use ICH6-M?

Conmee wrote:The new T43 machines will continue to support PCMCIA/CardBus, but in what are now two CardBus slots, the upper slot will support both 34mm/54mm ExpressCard cards, while the lower slot will support CardBus/PCMCIA. In addition, there will be no initial support of either SATA or "Azalia" (advanced sound) which will be added when the upcoming ICH6-M is introduced as part of a "T50" refresh in 2H2005.
