Manufacturer's product description
The IBM 4230 Impact Matrix Printer family offers high speed, exceptional reliability and rugged durability that make it the right choice for the most demanding print environments and applications. With print speeds of up to 600 characters per second (cps), depending on the model, and superb reliability, the IBM 4230 printers outperform other impact printers. With auto-forms load, innovative forms handling features, customizable operator panel and menu selections, IBM 4230 printers will improve productivity and virtually eliminate user frustration, paper jamming and costly paper loss. The customizable operator panel option allows you to easily lock out specific buttons or make them active again depending on your specific environment. The IBM 4230 offers robust benefits and productivity features in a small package. For example, custom setup profiles allow users to store and retrieve as many as four different menus of printer setup values. This means users can switch instantly from one application to another, thereby improving user productivity and eliminating adjustment errors. In addition, the IBM 4230 prints a wide range of applications by offering four print speeds and quality modes. The fast draft quality provides high speed for large print jobs. The near letter quality (NLQ) mode provides clean, crisp correspondence for word processing applications. Full all-points-addressable graphics capability exists for applications such as bar codes, bar charts and pie charts, scanned logos, forms designs and CAD/CAM drawings.
Advantages: Sharp and clear, flat, low distortion, stable Disadvantages: big size & heavy
...With the SONY Triniton CRT tube, IBM P76 provided a very sharp, bright and colorful picture quality. In fact, this model is outsourced from SONY in Japan.
The model seems to be discontinued now and obviously obsoleted compare with the light weight and non-flashing of LCD. However, some features are still unsubstitutable. First, it is more brighter; Second, provide a wider view angle; Most important, more colorful, the color is more accurate, thereby more suitable for professional designers.
The quality is stable, with very little geometric distortion....

Advantages: Quite a fast drive. Disadvantages: One of the "Deathstar" drives.
...Whether you are thinking of buying this drive (2nd hand, most likely as it's a couple of years old) or own one of IBM's 60GXP, 75GXP or 120GXP models, read on for important information about issues with these drives and fixing them.
** THE DRIVE **
Capacity: 40 GB (38.3 GB as reported in windows)
Rotational Speed: 7200 RPM
Interface: ATA-100
Average seek time: 8.5 ms
It's a fast enough drive. It seems to perform quite a bit better than the 5400 rpm 45 GB Western Digital drive I had, it's quite a bit quieter and this one's not dead ... yet.
** BORROWING NAMES FROM STAR WARS **
The main reason I thought I'd write a review on this drive, is to hopefully help a few others who have this or one of the other 60GXP, 75GXP or 120GXP models (as I've read these are equally affected).
It didn't take long for a lot of people to start...

Advantages: A trustworthy Notebook from the creators of the PC Disadvantages: Now a little out of date
...There are many notebooks avaliable today, from your £300 own brand notebooks to the £1000 top of the range notebooks.
IBM provides notebooks for all price ranges.
The T series is the ultimate in Travel Notebooks, they combine performance and reliability with travel. These are there Top Models.
All T series' have an outstanding battery life, my T23 started with 4 REAL hours of usability.
Most manufacturers claim 3-4 hours but when IBM says 4 Hours, they actually mean it, bearing in mind that my battery is 2 years old.
The Notebook comes with some really good IBM plus points, like the nipple, and the keyboard light.
Yes this notebook has a nipple, this may sound strange, but it is the best alternative to the mouse, it is more accurate and much easier to use than a glide pad. Its amazing how that small little red dot can actually...
