Lenovo ThinkPad A20 2629 (262962U) PC Notebook

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: Snob Appeal
Cons: Windows Based OS

I started repping a Windows based software product and needed a laptop to do client demos. I picked up a IBM ThinkPad A20m - which is the smaller cousin of the A20p - 6mb hard drive, 500 Mhz P III chipset - (and about $2,000 less than the A20p).
...

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: 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...

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: Fully featured. No other laptop has all the bells and whistles like this. Quality.
Cons: Expensive. A bit bulky. Difficult to purchase

The Good:

Features. This laptop is certainly packed with more features than any laptop on the market - any. It has S-Video IN as well as out. It has both a mono microphone IN as well as a stereo audio input. It has the biggest speakers...

Pros: design, keyboard, 15" screen
Cons: expensive.

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: Keyboard is the best in the industry. Screen is very sharp and bright.
Cons: Quite heavy. Speakers are terrible!

I bought the ThinkPad A21M because I was tired of having an external floppy to drag around - I wanted everything built in. The disadvantage, of course, is that this machine - which is in the desktop replacement category - is not built for easy...

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: 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: 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: Superior build quality, terrific keyboard and mouse, graphics horsepower.
Cons: Slightly pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I purchased my A20p about 3 weeks ago. It has the Pentium-III @ 750 MHz, 15" TFT screen, 6X-DVD, 20 GB HDD, and 128 MB of RAM. I can say I have been very happy with the performance and overall quality of this system. My previous laptop was a...

Pros: Reliable, affordable, nice to own.
Cons: 64Meg is standard on bottom of range models.

As part of our business, we specify, buy, integrate and ship IBM A20 notebook computers. We started specifying IBM laptops as a result of the need for a reliable ‘workhorse’ of a computer and had previously been ‘burned’ buying Compaqs.

When...

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: 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...
