Remanufactured IBM ThinkPad T30 236641U 14" Notebook PC (Intel Pentium 4 Processor "1.82 GHz", 256 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive, DVD)

The Basics

• Hard Drive: Since the focus is on affordability, this T30 comes with just a 40 GB hard drive. While this may have sounded gigantic at one time, it is one of the smallest hard drives you'll find in a desktop computer. That said, it offers more than enough room for home office productivity software, storing family photos, and a decent-sized digital audio library.
• Processor: The 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4-M (Mobile) processor offers enough speed for your work today, though it's speed lags behind what is available in contemporary notebooks with this processor (May 2005). Thanks to its Mobile features, the processor can save power when its not needed, thus conserving battery life.
• Memory: The 256 MB of installed RAM will get you started, but you'll want to add more to handle any kind of multimedia application and most business productivity suites. This notebook has a 1 GB maximum RAM capacity.
• CD/DVD Drive: The DVD-ROM drive enables you to access CDs and DVD movies while on the road. It's also removable, so you can travel even lighter.
• Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 86-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad.
