The T42 - a good all round machine
Review of ThinkPad T42 2373 - Pentium M 735 1.7 GHz - 14.1" TFT by
foxuk
Advantages: Slim, very light, IBM cachet, good screen, fantastic keyboard
Disadvantages: Build quality perhaps, ticking hard drive
OK, as I write this, the T42 already has its successors in the T43 and T60 which are in all likelihood higher spec machines, but the T42 has a lot of bang for the money.
First off, as a normal user, the 1.7GHz P-M processor is more than adequate, being equivalent to something close to the Pentium 4 3.0GHz and therefore on par with the desktops of the common people. Being an IBM, you may also choose to have a port replicator which would allow you ...

Hello again!
Right, where do i start? This is a work laptop, and we install our own build onto them, so if your look for information on software that comes with them, I'm afraid I'm going to dissapoint you.
From opening the box, you don't really find much! the laptop, a battery, a power charger, some paperwork and errr... Some packing foam!
We get them in bundles with laptop bags, another charger, a port replicator, keyboard and mouse. I'm ...

Jaypetch
Advantages: Reliable, Well Made, Great features
Disadvantages: Older technology
I got my self a T42 to use a laptop for university, something that I could take to lectures and also use back at my house. I couldn't have made a Better Purchase I paid around £800 for mine around a year ago, and it has been worth every penny. Not only is it a reliable chipset it also comes with great support from the IBM Website with updates and new software, programs and Bios updates, all to improve usability.
I have not yet had any thing break ...

My Student Computer
Review of ThinkPad T42 2373 - Pentium M 735 1.7 GHz - 14.1" TFT by
Ayesha-
Advantages: Fast, light, user-friendly
Disadvantages: Dodgy Mousepad
This has been my handy & beloved companion & lasted me throughout my University years. I used it mostly for accessing the Internet & using Office applications. I kept a lot of photos on this computer. I also downloaded about 2000 songs & used it as a music player & a few times as a DVD player for my rented movies.
It is fairly lightweight & just small enough to fit in an ordinary sized rucksack, so perfect for commuters or anyone doing work on ...
