IBM Thinkpad 1.5Ghz 14 inch screen 512mb 40GB hdd WinXP Wi-fi - $199

IBM Thinkpad T40 Notebook with Intel Pentium M 1.5 GHz Centrino, 14" LCD, 512MB DDR, 40GB HDD, DVD, 802.11b, Windows XP Pro

Standard description:
Built specifically for mobile business professionals, the IBM ThinkPad T40 notebook PC offers top-of-the-line functionality at a price that's easy on the wallet. The notebook is highly portable at just under 5 pounds, with an average battery life of up to 7.5 hours.

Even better, it features a 1.5 GHz Intel Centrino processor that's speedy enough for most gaming and multimedia applications. The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage and features the latest in power-saving technologies, letting you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also boasts 512 MB of built-in memory--a good start for most power users. You can even expand it up to 2 GB (1,024 MB x 2) should you want to max out the processing power. To make the computer more affordable for the average user, IBM included a relatively small 40 GB hard drive, which still offers more than enough room for home productivity software, family photos, and a decent-sized audio library despite its compact size.

The ThinkPad T40's video and graphics are powered by an ATI Mobility Radeon card and 32 MB of video RAM. It's a solid card for rendering 3D images, and is powerful enough for most demanding business productivity software, but serious gamers will likely want to upgrade. Meanwhile, the 14.1-inch TFT active matrix screen features a native 1,024 x 768 resolution.

Audio-wise, the computer boasts an integrated audio card and a pair of internal stereo speakers. And to ensure that you have access to CDs and DVD movies while on the road, the notebook offers 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 an 86-key keyboard and an UltraNav dual-pointing touch pad.

Most importantly for mobile users, the unit includes an integrated wireless LAN that's compatible with high-speed 802.11b networks, along with traditional 10/100 Ethernet support. Other jacks include two USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals, from digital cameras to MP3 players, a parallel port, a CRT monitor port, one S-video out, two audio ports (headphone jack and mic in), one PCMCIA (PC card) Type III slot (which can also accommodate two Type I or II cards), and built-in RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors for telephony and LAN connections.
