Advantages: Good working tool Disadvantages: If you ever need IBM techical support - Sorry!!
I am on my second IBM Thinkpad which I use almost exclusively for work so no games or gizmos. My current one was bought on Ebay 6 months ago brand new at an amazing price from an established computer seller on Ebay. I was aprehensive when I clicked the pay button to win or loose £245 considering my previous IBM Thinkpad had cost £900. The computer arrived with carry case and all brand new and has operated perfectly for the past 6 months.
IBM is always IBM and the industry leader since computing began so this machine will not let you down when you pull it out of your bag at a meeting. In my opinion this is a simple, sturdy no frills machine that does what it says on the tin! ...
Advantages: CONFIGURES IN TWO WAYS. Disadvantages: MIGHT BE COSTLY TO SOME.
Well this actually awakens your pc by increasing the processing speed of your PC. My previous processor, which is Intel, has actually gone old so I needed some up grade. In terms of recommendations, I will highly recommend this to the fullest because of its processing speed and efficiency.
With the 2-way 1.65ghz processor with a 36mb l cache, the processor board is capable of processing perfectly and all right so this is a good alternative if you actually want to upgrade your PC.
The cache memory has good memory capacity of 72mb L3 cache. The new processor on the p5-550 allows you to configure in both ways either a 2- way or 4 way system. With the new 1.65ghz processor, there are wide ranges of system storage offerings.
As a pc gamer, the new IBM processor board has given me some special entertainment with my games by ...
Advantages: Good extra features. Can play CD's from keyboard Disadvantages: Price?
Now here’s an opinion that nearly didn’t get written, mainly because I’m too busy using the damned thing to write about it. I’m talking about my IBM Rapid Access Keyboard.
I have been using this for about 18 months now, and if I remember correctly it cost me about £30 from PCW, the shop whose name I can’t bring myself to say in full!
Since keyboards can be had for a fiver upwards, what’s so special about it? Well, nothing from the “Immense Bowel Movement”* is ever going to be cheap, but it does carry some extra features, which set it part from the “fiver jobs”.
*Some “IBMers” have their own pet theories. “I Bin Moved” is one heartfelt cry, whilst German employees have been known to call it “Ich Bin Müde” – I am tired.
