Lenovo ThinkPad T23 2647 (26472U7) PC Notebook

Pros: Desktop quality processor and hard drive. Nice screen. Loaded with ports. Affordable.
Cons: Soft keyboard. Limited mouse options.

Recently, my company decided to go through a complete overhaul of everyone's PCs - doing away with the thousands of different (and unsupported models/platforms) and unifying the organization under one happy IT umbrella. The pc and platform of choice was...

Pros: Awesome screen, desktop power, better construction than older T2x
Cons: Expensive

I give a lot of credit to IBM. I've been a faithful Thinkpad user for many a models now dating back to the Thinkpad 750C (although I have strayed from the path on occasion...never by my own will) and am surprised by IBM's ability to surprise me with...

Pros: Fast 1.13 GHZ Processor Build Quality Up to 1GB RAM Touch Stick
Cons: Shows age in video processing Limited battery life USB 1.1 ports No built in Wifi

This is a computer for people who like computers. It's now over 5 years old. It can't run Vista, it can't display HD video -- but what it does do it does damn well. I'm in the laptop repair industry and have sold and serviced dozens of different ...

Pros: Good size, good weight, just the right ergonomic fit
Cons: unknown at this time

Pros: Speed, memory capacity size, portability
Cons: Cost of RAM upgrades

Pros: lightweight, and powerful
Cons: battery life

The IBM Thinkpad 23 compares very well with the Dell Inspiron 8100. Both are very powerful and portable machines. I think IBM is a lighter machine than Dell and it is just as powerful. It has a good screen size, good keyboard and allot of other...

Pros: Excellent integration, size and durability.
Cons: Buggy and weak graphics. Poor quality control by IBM.

Model reviewed:

IBM T23 Model 2647-9LU

This line of laptops well-known for being slim in size and weight, but heavy in functionality. The expandability allows 1GB of RAM and it has a 1400x1050 resolution 14.1"...

Pros: Bright screen and firefox view can be enlarged using scroll with wireless mouse.
Cons: battery life.

I absolutely enjoy this laptop. I use it more than my desktop. My T23 has 30G HD, Windows XP, PCMCIA wireless network, wireless keyboard and mouse. It connects to the internet @ 3 mbps. I'm very happy. I work with computers, network and laptops; and ...
