Perhaps I expressed myself in a wrong way, but I wasn't bushing Thinkpadworld in any way, neither tried to diminish his competence as a seller. I just decided fro myself that going with brand new, 3-years IBM warranted unit for the price...

Well, I ended up buying brand new T43 on Ebay that turned to be even cheaper then refubrished machined from thinkpadworld (or few other big refubrished sellers over there). The situation on Ebay just welcomes the buyer to go for a brand...

Well, turned over and made up my mind going a third choice - acquired a brand new T43 in US that is on its way to me right now. Has no more then ATI x300 graphics which will apparently more then sufficient for engineering use (MATLAB,...

Don't know. Since it was officially refubrished by IBM, I suspect they does mark it somehow in their database (at least this is what I inferred from the info available on Lenovo site). Yes, I agree ideally they indeed are required to...

Thank you guys for yuor opinions, each of them is valid by itself. In fact, I called our local IBM service - they were quite a bit sceptical about their willingness to deal with refubrished items. Yes, right, the seller (shop) clearly...

How reasonable is such huge resolution on 14.1" screen ? I'm contemplating acquiring T43 14.1" featured by 1400x1050 screen, but this sounds to be scary when comes to text reading, surfing, Office work and similar math and...

Thanks, that indeed clarifies the issue (however would this T41p be backed up by original IBM 3 years warranty just like new T4x usually come, I wouldn't hesitate...)
