T43 w/ Intel Graphics: What models?

#1 Post by ThinkRob » Mon Jan 10, 2011 10:33 am

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I didn't find anything when I searched.

What models of T43 came with Intel graphics? I know that some variants of 1871, 1872, 1875, 1876 came with Intel graphics, but I was unable to find any conclusive indication of whether all machines with those model numbers came with Intel graphics. The PSREF excerpts that I could find certainly confirmed my theory, but obviously without the full listings I can't be certain.

I ask because from time to time some T43s crop up in IBM's certified used stock, and I'd like to snag a couple (since the machines from there tend to be in excellent condition), but I don't want to wind up with one of the ATI-driven timebombs.

Thanks in advance!

If you go through the ltwbook, that would give you the model numbers.

I thought of that, but since it was from 2005-present I thought there were some models that weren't included. Guess I was wrong! :oops:

For the benefit of anyone else with the same question, the answer is yes: 1871, 1872, 1875, and 1876 models all have the Intel GMA 900 as their GPU.
