Excellent Laptop.......2004-12-01

I disagree w/ the other person that says this laptop is expensive, for what they are asking this is the best value out there. I had this Thinkpad T23 for almost 2 years now, and I purchased refurbished. I NEVER had any problems w/ it. We carry ours all over the House, every where we travel, etc. and still works like the first day we got it. I added memory (512 MB) and recently added a Wireless card (cost $20) since we just got DSL and it works better and faster than our PC. I highly recommed this Laptop to any body that needs a heavy duty Laptop, it is also lighter than other laptops.

Only good for business users on a budget.......2003-02-23

The T23 is an older business class IBM notebook that has been discontinued and replaced by the T30. There are still a few T23s left in the retail channel but they won't be around much longer. The bottom line question: is the T23 worth your money?

Well if you just looked at the features, performance and price, it would be easy to see that this notebook is overpriced. You can get a much faster notebook for this price or less. For most people this is not the right notebook. However it has some features that will appeal to someone looking for a light business class notebook.

For starters it is fairly light (ignore the Amazon weight, this machine weighs in around 5lbs) and the PIII-M CPU uses a lot less power than P4s and Athlons. You can also expect better than average battery life out of this notebook (3.5+ hours on one battery). The build quality and reliability of this model is higher than most notebooks in this price range.

So if you are a business user looking for a high quality notebook to run office type applications and you are on a budget, this is probably a good choice. For anyone else the price - performance ratio of this model makes it a poor choice.
