Amazon.com Product Description

Built specifically for business road warriors, the remanufactured corporate-class IBM ThinkPad T23 is a lightweight, affordable notebook PC that helps you get the job done wherever you roam. The notebook is ideal for people who value reliable performance and a reasonable price, as it features all the basics but few extras. The laptop is built around a 1.13 GHz Intel Pentium III processor that offers enough speed for most projects, though it lags behind most newer notebooks. To preserve battery life, users can turn on the battery-optimizing mode, which reduces the MHz speed to approximately 80 percent of max performance, thus using roughly 50 percent as much power. The computer also comes with 128 MB of installed RAM to get you started, though more will likely be necessary to handle multimedia applications and business productivity suites (1 GB max capacity). Furthering the affordability theme is the 30 GB hard drive, which--though once impressive--is now one of the smallest hard drives you'll find in the latest computers. However, it offers more than enough room for home productivity software, storing family photos, and maintaining a decent-sized digital audio library.

The ThinkPad T23's video and graphics are powered by 16 MB of video RAM, which provides a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels on the 14.1-inch screen. The notebook also features support for SoundBlaster audio applications, with full-duplex audio on the system board, an integrated microphone that allows for voice annotation, and audio in/out jacks for stereo speakers or a headphone. To ensure that you have access to CDs and DVD movies while on the road, IBM included a DVD-ROM drive. The drive offers an ideal way to bring along additional data or audio/video files when on a business trip. Rounding out the peripheral set is a standard 86-key keyboard and TrackPoint two-button touchpad mouse.

Additional features include an integrated 56k modem and a 10/100 Ethernet port (for connecting to LAN networks and DLS cable modems); an integrated wireless 802.11b connection that lets you connect to a LAN without wires or cables; a rechargeable lithium ion battery with a 3.5-hour battery life; two USB 2.0 ports for connecting to digital cameras, MP3 players, and other peripherals; and such jacks as an enhanced parallel port, a serial port, a VGA monitor port, an S-video out, a PS/2 port, and two PC card slots (for two Type I/II or one Type III card).

The ThinkPad T23 comes with a preinstalled Windows 2000 Pro operating system. And as with all remanufactured items, the notebook boasts a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

Business, school, or personal........2006-08-17

This is the perfect computer if you need something for work, school, or just to use at home. I enjoyed mine and I recommend it to anybody.

I was not happy with this. The unit was OK but I was not happy that the DVD player did not have the decoder included. So I couldn't play movies. The USB ports are not highspeed so the wireless network is slow and lacking. Whats next... By the time you add to this what you would need to make it sweet you can just buy a new one, software all included with full support and warranty. Either the price has too come down for this USED item or the software has to be fluffed up. There really is little incentive to buy this item. I learned the hard way. Be for-warned shopper.
