Pros: Size, Weight, Screen, Battery life,
Cons: PRICE

After being thoroughly disappointed with the Dell Inspiron 600M, (read my review on it) I finally made my original dream come true and bought the IBM Thinkpad T40. The same day which I returned my Dell I ordered my Thinkpad. It took four days to get ...

Pros: Great engineering, great construction, great performance.
Cons: pricey, but you get what you pay for.

This review is coming from someone who has owned 7 different laptops, 4 of them IBMs. I am quite a big geek, and a little hard to please when it comes to gear. My IBM T40 (237372U) is an awesome machine that impresses me every day. My last laptop, ...

Pros: Speed, Battery Life, Lightweight, Quiet, Solid.
Cons: Nothing except doesn't ship with XP CD (only installed).

After owning many computers, this Thinkpad T40 is my first new notebook. I read many reviews and had worked on my brother-in-law's during vacation, and had to have one. I purchased it from PCMALL.com and it arrived safely and as promised. They also ...

Pros: Tremendous Battery life, solid construction, responsive keyboard, sleek and thin
Cons: Heavy, expensive, no windows key!

In a world of sub-$1000 laptops, it is a hard sell to purchase a laptop that can easily run over $20 ...

Pros: Light, fast, durable, sleek design, keyboard, mouse pointer and pad, warrant, screen resolution!!
Cons: Price!!! get what you pay for though!!!

After having the Dell 8600 for 3 weeks I sent it back. I can't believe how cheap Dell made there new series of laptops. I looked around and came to buy the IBM think pad. It is awesome, very durable, light weight, extremely fast with the new Centrino 1.6ghz. Keyboard is top of the line, I love the mouse pointer, the pad is great to. A little EXPENSIVE, though you get what you pay for!!! Highly recomend, and NEWEGG.COM is the best place to shop!!

Pros: Fast and reliable, long battery life. Thin, light, rugged.
Cons: No Firewire, no serial port: no problem.

I've had 'em all, but the IBM ThinkPad T40 is the perfect mobile business PC. Terrific performance, excellent tech support by phone and optionally onsite.

Many hours of battery life, especially if you use the optional the 9-cell battery pack. As others have mentioned there is no serial port, but since everything's USB these days, no problem.

My one wish is that this model had a Firewire port, which would make my backup processes run even faster.

I've read complaints about the price, but you have to compare apples to apples: this machine many built-in capabilities and superb tech support that more than offset the (small) cost differential.

I recommend the T40 without reservation!
