Amazon.com Product Description
No matter how specific your requirements, chances are IBM has a ready-made mobile computer to cover them. For those users who appreciate lightweight portability and battery efficiency more than overwhelming power, the ThinkPad T41 (2379DJU) Notebook PC is a solid choice. You won't want to use it in demanding business environments or as a 3D gaming rig, but the ThinkPad T41 (2379DJU) will otherwise fit quite nicely in most personal or light-duty professional situations. It's also relatively inexpensive in comparison with the majority of IBM notebooks, and that should make any computer buyer happy. Driven by a 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium-M processor with Intel's new Centrino technology (Centrino processors offer improved battery life and more power than similarly rated non-Centrino CPUs), the ThinkPad T41 (2379DJU) is fast and easy on the batteries. The unit is equipped with a minimal 256 MB of 333 MHz main memory, which can be doubled or quadrupled for improved general and multitasking performance. Its graphics controller, an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with 32 MB of dedicated video memory, helps power the unit through midlevel 3D applications and games but won't deliver smooth frame rates when asked to operate today's newest high-end 3D games and 3D design apps. Tipping the scales at a scant 4.9 lbs. and measuring just 12.2 by 10.0 by 1.0 inches, the ThinkPad T41 (2379DJU) is exceptionally easy to transport and operate. IBM has equipped the system with an average-sized 40 GB hard disk for file and program storage, a CD-RW/DVD drive through which you can listen to and burn audio CDs and watch DVD movies, and a 14.1-inch TFT display screen capable of super detailed 1400 by 1050 resolutions. DVD writing is not supported. The ThinkPad T41 (2379DJU) is home to many unique and practical perks, including a nifty keyboard-illuminating ThinkLight for low-light situations, an S-Video out port, two high-speed USB 2.0 ports for fast interaction with external peripherals, and a full-size keyboard featuring IBM's user-friendly ThinkPad UltraNav multi-pointing system. An IEEE 1394 FireWire connection, typically used for downloading data from digital camcorders, is not part of the package. Communication options are excellent. The unit sports a low-speed 56K fax/modem, a super-fast Intel/PRO 1000 Gigabit Ethernet Ethernet connector for incrementally faster network access than traditional LAN technology, and Intel PRO wireless for those times when you can't plug in. Battery life is estimated at an admirable 4.4 hours under ideal conditions.

 It's Fine When It Isn't Broken November 1, 2006
I've had a T-41 for about two years. It's been back to IBM three times for new motherboards when the video went out. It's been back once for a new wireless card. A second wireless card is coming via delivery service as I type. This time I get to put it in.
I've had several Thinkpads and love their functionality. IBM's service people are friendly and helpful. The problem is that I'm getting to know the guys in Atlanta way too well.
I asked IBM to replace this T-41 as a lemon. They responded by giving me an extra year of warranty. That was nice, but every time this thing goes down, it costs me lost time, and for someone who is self employed that is a bad thing.
 Good wireless card and screen January 27, 2005
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I give this laptop a rating of 5 because it run good out of the box. have to other laptop this one run the best no problems at all. very good wireless card can go outside and still pick up signal. screen like my hp very high resolution. battery last long. good for work. speed amost the same as my dell p4 3.2ht, dell beat by a few points in the benchmark test.
but didn't get it for speed. drive could have been better, had to put more ram. but it a very good laptop if you are taken it to work or on the go.
Overall lowest cost with proven reliability and quality December 2, 2004
This is the first ThinkPad I bought for myself, the other three that I have been used in the past eight years were provided by the company I worked for.
Decision making was easy:
1. Overall lowest cost: after deducted the costs for 3-year warranty, high resolution LCD screen, Windows XP Pro, slim and light-weight design and quality material.
2. Proven reliability: this means there won't be extra costs to burden my 3-year ownership.
3. Excellent technical support (I called IBM technical support once in August, one month after I got T41, and was surprised that the tech. support rep. picked up the phone right the way and guided me step by step to go through the problem I had. They even followed up with a call to confirm the problem has been solved!
Yes, I am more than happy to recommend IBM ThinkPad T41 (2379DJU) to you. However, the best buy is with $100 rebate from Amazon.
 IBM - No Reliability - Product Sucks November 18, 2004
2 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought this New T41 2 months ago, Product is awesome, but after 6 weeks of use, the hard disk crashed, and when i called up IBM, they said that they would replace the hard disk with a new one, and the data from the old one cannot be restored. Lost all my data. So, if ur planning to buy it, I would suggest u to buy an external data storage.
great screen, decent battery, but the cd/dvd stinks August 10, 2004
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
nice laptop. make sure to spend the extra dough and get the 1400x1050 screen cause it is awesome.
it has decent battery life of around 3hrs.
but the dvd/cd-rom doesnt read anything. not even store bought discs. i have had ibm ship me a new cdrom unit and it still stinks. however because i use this laptop primarily to program .NET i am still thinking about keeping it even though the cdrom is a glaring defect. the problem may be based in windows so i cant say for sure its IBM's fault, but come on. out of the box and it cant play even my store bought DVD's?
