cykim92 from IL Member Since: Aug 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Weeks	T43 - the best solution for users seeking a powerful notebook Strengths: HEAT: I cannot feel hot even after I used it all night long PERFORMANCE: It is fast and convenient Weaknesses: LCD: Eyes are easily tired because of very fine resolution SIZE: 9-cell battery protrudes from the 14” rectangle Summary: I used T43-2687D3U for two weeks. The brief specification is as the followings: CPU: Pentium M 750 1.86Ghz HDD: 60GB MEM: 512MB LCD: TFT 14.1" ODD: DVD-Multiburner The overall rate is very good. T-series of ThinkPad is known as a masterpiece of notebooks. After being sold to Lenova, this reputation doesn't fade yet. If you want a powerful and portable notebook, this model may be the best choice. Heat: very good. I cannot feel hot although I usually use it all night long. I think its cooling system is very efficient. Noise: good. Fan often works, but its sound is durable. LCD: not bad. It is bright and clear, But, if you worry about your eyes, I recommend that you choose other models whose maximum resolution is 1024768. This model also support 1024768, but pictures are not sharp in this resolution. Keyboard: very good. Its keyboard is very comfortable. It has separated function keys such as insert, delete, page up, page down, and so on. Since I hate duplicated key arrangement, I satisfy this keyboard very much. Battery: very good. I use it for about 4 hours without the power cable. Fingerprint reader: good. In order to be familiar to this reader, you should try many times, but after being familiar, the reader is very convenient. Weight: not bad. This is subjective. If you want a very light notebook, I recommend you to avoid choosing this model. Size: bad. Overall size is good. However, this model has 9-cell battery. You must keep it in mind. 9-cell battery protrudes from the 14” rectangle. I bought a 14" sleeve for it, but this sleeve is not suitable because of the battery. 100% of People (5/5) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

ajtwoddld Member Since: Jan 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	Good Laptop for general purposes Strengths: • The best keyboard around, • Thin and light design , tough titanium case • Using finger scanner without password log on. It is easy way to secure protection your account. Weaknesses: • Price, you will pay lot’s of money to have it. • only two USB 2.0 ports • Fan very often runs. You'll get a little bit of whir sound in the left side palm rest when the fan runs Summary: Design One of what I satisfied my notebook is thin and light design. As well, tough titanium case makes it stronger than plastic case. LCD My IBM T-43 came with SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) resolution display. It is enough to search the internet and programming. It may be a reasonable display resolution for playing 3D game. Heat and Fan I don’t get too hot with even I used for a long time. The bottom may be warm , however, It does not make you uncomfortable. The fan on the T43 is on the left side; it does runs very often. And It makes a whirr sound when it runs. I think fan sound in T43 is worse than previous IBM series. Speaker Compare to Toshiba notebook. IBM T-43 performs less. But if you use a headphone or pairs of external speakers, it does not be a problem. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
