IBM T42 vs Dell Inspiron 9300

Definately the IBM. The build quality in a T series destroys anything Dell can think about making. (Or any other manuf for that matter.) I have a T41 and it's great. I'd also get a 14" model with 1400x1050. It's lighter, better battery life, and I've heard the 15" models have plastic...

Free A/R - USB Wireless LAN Adapter!!!

This should work in Linux right? I'm thinking it would as it seems the Prism 3 chipset is supported. Would there be any problems with the USB interface?

Question to all who uses IBM laptops, PCMCIA question

I don't believe you can even do that. The controller would be part of the system board would it not?

My T41 is a TI PCI-4520. Don't know anything about your card, sorry. I'd say look for a driver for the card or try finding someone on the net that has a similar problem. Try google's groups search.

Help deciding which of these two IBMs to get.

What is this discount with a Mastercard? Is it at time of sale or through the CC company?

I just ordered the same thing Friday. Got them to come down 200 on the phone and then I bought the thinkpad protection plan. Did you get them to give you the "new customer discount"?

Go configure a Lattitude D600 and you'll see what he is talking about. Now from $1,249 [After $150 Instant Savings and $100 Mail-In Rebate] Limited time offer. Then you get to configuring... ends up like 1900 before rebates... It's fairly difficult to get it to 1249. Given that is the...

Just Ordered a Thinkpad T41

I'll bring this post back alive with pictures and my impression when I get it. Probably will be a month though. It is the 2379DJU and it's on backorder. Came out to just above 2 grand including Thinkpad Protection Program and tax. Not excited about dropping the money but this thing should be...

lol... the first one was kinda funny.. the 7th one was too much. :) I just ordered a T41 2379DJU for just above 2K with the Thinkpad Protection. Not bad I think.

best brand for laptops?

Um no.. or at least not at the moment. :) The T41p is on sale. You can get it for 3K plus tax/shipping without a G wireless card and 100 more for that. It is arguably the BEST notebook you can buy at the moment. Light, small, awesome battery life, PM 1.7, 512 std 333 RAM, 14" 1400 display...

DellWebsite...Outright Fraud or Negligence??

Not always is it before rebates. I remember trying to configure a server that was "499" and could hardly get below 600 WITH any rebate. They do sneak some of their overpriced accessories in or at least leave them to be unchecked. I think it's common sense to click on a price and see a...

Yes. I didn't miss that. It's just they don't ever start at a base system and go up.

I know what you are saying. You click on their "as low as" price and you get a different configuration that costs 600 bucks more or something. Then you need to completely strip it down for their displayed price. And sometimes you can't quite get there.
