Lenovo ThinkPad 240 (260921U) PC Notebook

Pros: Small, tough, LCD screen, features
Cons: Battey life, no CD, external floppy

I know it’s a little late to be writing a review on this model, but my review shows how this unit has stood the test of time and is still a viable item.


I’ve never really had much need for a laptop. So one day in 2001, when a guy wants...

Pros: Size, weight, keyboard
Cons: Battery life, external drives

The IBM 240 is great for mobile professionals who don't *necessarily* use this as their only computer.

Here are the pluses and minuses:

PLUSES:
+ it's very light
+ great keyboard (if you haven't used the IBM laptop...

Pros: More than OK if you have 2 machines.
Cons: Less so if it is your only one.

OK is not much of a title, but I'll explain.

BASICS

A 300MHz Intel Celeron processor.
64MB RAM
6.4GB drive
NeoMagic MagicGraph 128XD video controller, 2MB of RAM
Internal V.90 56Kbps modem

Pros: less than three pounds
Cons: ???

Every thing revolves around your use of your laptop. I live in Hawaii and get income for Investing from the Internet.

Living here we go to the beach and the mountains allot. We take a lot of planes. The 240 enables me to bring in income and...

Pros: See Review
Cons: See Review

Introduction<P>
Surprisingly, I hadn't heard of the 240 before, I suppose IBM hasn't done a good job of publicizing it. Researching it on IBM's informative web site gave me a lot of things to compare to the Sony. It offered a Celeron...

Pros: Keyboard, complete build-in ports, good price
Cons: Screen quality, no dedicated page up/down

I had the ThinkPad 240 Celeron 300 MHz for about 6 months. Before changing to TP240, I was using the Toshiba Portege 3015 and had difficult time with the keyboard layout. Best feature in TP240 is the keyboard feel and layout. However the shared...

Pros: Small lightweight, big screen & KEyboard
Cons: 300 MHZ processor, no floppy/CD hate the eraser mousing device!

OK, I may be a little biased because of what I paid for this (NOTHIN’!), but I love this machine! I had always wanted a laptop. I review film for a hobby and I thought it would be good to have one I could take to work or use on the couch to take notes ...

Pros: small
Cons: low battery

The Thinkpad have always defined laptops keypads.

I love my Thinkpad. MiniFin.com pays anyone to surf the web. There is little if no need for a floppy or a CD. You can move your Thinkpad from room to room, house to house, car to car with...

Pros: Excellent design, reliability & service from IBM
Cons: Limited storage.

I bought my Thinkpad 240 because of the tiny size and good price.

On features:
The tiny size means no internal CDROM or Floppy drive, but there is an external Floppy drive included. I really don't mind the missing Floppy, I've only...

Pros: Small light reliable 6GB-drive USB-port internal-modem price
Cons: No integrated ethernet port

I've had my IBM 240 since November 99 and really like it alot. Warning: I am fairly computer literate and don't use it as my main computer - just as my road machine. I really use it as a large PIM (I don't own nor believe in Palm Pilots - why have...

Pros: Portability and usability
Cons: Small screen and it's also not crash and glitch free (as all other computers are anyway)

I love my IBM Thinkpad. Because it's small but strong, it goes with me everywhere (It's also safer in Tokyo. If I take it out of my backpack, I don't worry as much that it could be dangerous.) The keyboard is extremely comfortable to use, and though the...

Pros: Portability
Cons: Reliability

I bought 2 240s for the portability and the reliability of the IBM brand name.

The portability is excellent, the performance is enough, given my email, Internet, and MS Office activities. The screen is quite good.

Reliability has...

Pros: compact, lightweight,,durable
Cons: small keyboard

IBM Thinkpad 240


An opinion on: IBM Thinkpad 240

written on 14.08.00

Product...

Pros: Great keyboard
Cons: Sharp, but DIM, screen

I must agree with all the professional reviews of the ThinkPad 240 which cite its extraordinary keyboard. Having tried the Sony VAIO, the Toshiba Portege 3110CT and the Compaq Armada M300, the 240 outdistances them all when it comes to the comfort and...

Pros: fast, steady, reliable, convenient
Cons: monitor bad at motion, needs attached mouse

Worth the price, this mobile little notebook does everything the average user will ever need it to do. The sound quality is good for radio stations and CD playing, and the word processing capablities are fine. There is ample memory space as long as one...
