If it doesn't, it doesn't. Won't matter that much to me. For what I intend to do with the notebook, the two series are going to be virtually identical. If I DID want to game, etc. (which I don't) then I would blow off IBM and get...

Well, that is just what I have done. I went with the T43, knowing that the GPU might be a slight downgrade. I usually don't hang onto PC hardware very long, and I figured that the T43 would have slightly higher resale in a year or...

No changes. The terms of the sale were that IBM retains service and support (which are profitable) so the service and support should be the same. Andrew Austin, TX Quote: Originally Posted by Richard...

Base price for the T42 with 1year warranty was about $1,400, for the T43 with 3 year was about $1,600. By the time I made both 3 year and added Thinkpad Protection (accidental damage coverage) and tax they were both within $25 of each...

You can put an ASUS on a credit card, but I haven't heard of any dealer financing...besides...you can get a low-interest credit card. If a dealer were to offer financing it would be a some ungodly high interest rate. Like...

Well, I have no desires to game on any notebook, so I probably will take the newer one, since it will probably have higher resale value. I tend to change hardware often, so that is a factor for me. Not sure, however as to what I will...

Well, the 2378 is not cheaper, at least, not for me. I bought from the IBM Educational site. Adding a 3 year warranty to the 2378, it was within $25 of the 2668, which comes with a 3 year warranty. So, it is truly an...

I spent more than several hours comparing the 266846U to the 2378FVU today. I have a few days to return the 2378FVU and just received the 266846U. The 2378FVU is 1.7, 768MB, 64MB ATI 9600. The 266846U is 1.86, 512MB, 64MB ATI...

If you want to put a larger or faster hard drive in a similar notebook, get an IBM X31 before they are gone. Now discontinued, but extremely popular model. Slightly larger, slightly thicker, slightly heavier, but you can put a 100GB 5400...
