Pros: Screen size, hard drive space, value
Cons: None so far!

Purchased this laptop a few weeks ago and am thrilled with it! I was looking for a system that had an integrated CD and floppy, along with a large screen, but didn't want to spend $4000. This fit the bill perfectly. It is available in a number of...

Pros: ideal desktop replacement, power rich
Cons: expensive.

Start with power and portability and then move on to looks and sleek black. The A20 has to be the best laptop I've ever had the pleasure to use. I've had an A20 for week. Our department is testing 3 of them against our IBM 600E laptop computers. The two...

Pros: Fast; Good Storage; Basically a little desktop
Cons: Graphic card; A little slow to boot up

The IMB ThinkPad A20M is the perfect desktop alternative for college students as it offers speed, ease of use, and expandablity all in one cost-effective package. Mine was ordered on special offer from my school, which means that it came with...

Pros: Light, good screen, tough case, very good performance. Very nice keyboard lamp!
Cons: keyboard was a little 'cheap' compared to other Thinkpad's, no LCD battery display. Battery life could be better.

Pros: very portable, very expandable, full sized keyboard, great customer service
Cons: took a long time to come in the mail

I purchased my Thinkpad A20m with the 700mhz Pentium processor, 192 MB or RAM, and the integrated Ethernet/56K modem. It took about 2 months for my Thinkpad to come in the mail, but it was WELL worth the wait.

I do not have enough good...

Pros: it has a lot of options to choose from
Cons: everything, You should buy the Sony Vaio

Review of IBM ThinkPad A21m
(they changed the name from A20 to A21 last Fall):

Background:

One day, while testing my programming assignment, waiting forever for the UNIX mainframe located in the campus to respond to my...

Pros: There Isn't Enough Space To List Them all
Cons: I Feel That There Are None (but i am positive there are people who disagree with me)

Wow is all i can say. This machine comes standard with a titanium composite top cover,Intel Mobile Pentium III up to 850MHz. Up to 128MB to 512MB RAM (std/max). Travel weight starting at 6 lbs. Microsoft Windows 2000 professional or Windows 98 second...

Pros: lightweight, powerful, decent hard drive
Cons: looks fragile

Fast and ultralight with 12 GB of storage space, this laptop really is a dream come true. Provided you're willing to shell out near US$4,000 for it, it will bring out the mobile power user in anyone.

As a developer, I find most laptops either...

Pros: best laptop keyboard, bright display
Cons: very mediocre build quality

I purchased a ThinkPad A series laptop a year ago. (It's an A21m, which I couldn't find on Epinions.com, I could only find the A20, but the entire A series shares the same case & build, just different innards.)

I have had serious problems...

Pros: Comfortable screen and keyboard; full-featured; excellent value
Cons: None

I bought the ThinkPad A20m (26283TU), upgraded to 128 MB of SDRAM, in June of 2000. It has built-in Ethernet, 15" TFT display, 24X CD-ROM, and Windows 2000. I chose the product because:

a) I've always admired the ThinkPad. It's a very...

Pros: great with LCD projector, fast
Cons: none

As a replacement for a high-use loaner laptop, the A20m is great - especially for use with an LCD projector. Fast, fairly light, decent screen, built in NIC, modem, and CD-ROM, it booted up quickly and loaded the right drivers the first time. Those of...

Pros: All in one intigration
Cons: lower than expected battery life

This laptop is a great desktop replacement!! The machine that I have used is a Thinkpad A20m 2628 3CU, plus and extra 64 megs of RAM. This machine is given to me by my college, it's given to all incomming freshman. I have been using the machine for 3...

Pros: Medium-weight, great for a multitude of applications, perfect for college students or the lightweight computer user
Cons: A little slow to boot, low battery life

I have wanted a laptop forever. They looked cool. They were cool. They were expensive. So I would drool on the models set up at Best Buy until security would remove me because I short-circuited the entire setup. I was infatuated with the concept of being...

Pros: Great Screen, Too much Power, More memory than you should need, and quality feel to the case and keyboard.
Cons: High price, questionable availability

I am a long time Toshiba laptop user and recently had cause to pick up the new Thinkpad A20p. For this configuration I let go of around $4,000, but so far it seems that it was definately money well spent.

The specs on this machine say it...
