TheDawn said:good price but the 30 day warranty makes me stay away... does Square Deal offer an extended warranty on something like this? |
Nice deal on a rock solid computer, I have three T-series computers (T40 and T60 at work and a T60 at home) and recommend them to everyone. The 30-day warranty wouldn't really bother me personally based on my past experience, as long as it works when you get it you should be good for a while. |

I had a T43 before I was upgraded to a T61 and was happy with it. I really appreciate the "solidness" of the ThinkPads over other laptops, especially the Dells. My only concern would be with the battery - sometimes they can go after a while. |
alvdena said:10 off 200 coupon makes it cheaper OP, that's called Square Trade, IIRC |
Let me first say I'm a huge ThinkPad fan (still own a few including a vintage 701C). That being said - at $400 this is only a warm deal on a nearly four-year-old computer platform. |

Agreed, these were great machines in their day. Mechanical componets wear out after 3 years. So beware, unless you like good old things, like 1955 Chevys |
the newer T61 comes with lesser quality keyboard. T43 is the last one with the classic keyboard |
yus9 said:Agreed, these were great machines in their day. Couldn't agree more. $400 is a heck of a lot for a 3-4 yr old refurb, especially with new models (albeit non-Lenovo/IBM) on sale now and probably even cheaper after BF. The real problem with spending this much is that you're betting that the keyboard, screen, and moving parts will hang in there for several MORE years. If they go after 30 days, you'll end up spending a lot more on top of your original $400. |
yus9 said:Agreed, these were great machines in their day. I'm actually still driving my '55 Chevy. It's called a TP600, and I used it yesterday. Works just great!! [I got the TP600 from a friend about two years ago locked. So who knows how much use it had seen. Had to build a device to go in and read the EEPROM and suck out the supervisor password. With that, unlocking was easy. The PI TP600 is a real oldie, but it's a goodie!] |
