The ThinkPad T30 is a winner:

IBM’s T30 series, including the ThinkPad T30 2366, proves to be another hit with IBM fans. Any product’s best reviews come from users themselves who share their real experiences. In this case a user has posted the comment that the new ThinkPad T30 laptop is performing very well with all applications, games and MS Office suites.  Initially he had thought that the machine would require extra RAM but his experience proved otherwise.

ThinkPad T30 is configured with Intel Pentium -4M 2Ghz/512 MB/40GB hard disk. It comes with normal CD/DVD Drive and 56K modem. Though the notebook is equipped with 10/100 Ethernet, you can upgrade with wireless 802.11B option at an extra cost of $30.

This sturdy T30 ThinkPad comes with a 14.1” TFT monitor.  The ATI mobility Radeon 16 MB ,7500 video card adds on to give the best screen resolution of 1024 x 768 on the 14.1” monitor.  One of the IBM special product features is that the ThinkPad comes with metal hinges on the edge of the case and screen which offers additional protection to the laptop and prevents damage.

As in the case of all IBM ThinkPad series, the keyboard is compact, sturdy and standard design.  The main feature of the keypad is the unique red colored eraser head pointer stick which happens to be the unique feature of IBM notebooks.  The keyboard is designed for long lasting use.  Many users have reported error free keypad performance even after 3-4 years of continuous use.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T30 notebook comes with two in 1 watt speakers with AD1881A AC97 codec, Sound Blaster Pro compatible and equipped with three audio jacks and the buttons for Volume control and mute functions.

The other connectivity features include two USB ports, one serial and one parallel port, one VGA and one S-Video with headphone, microphone and infrared interfaces.

The laptop comes with Linux ion battery with auto-sensing AC adaptor with 110-240 volts range. The battery gives a solid power backup of up to 3 hours.

Security features of the laptop include power on password, HDD password, IBM security slot and IBM Embedded Security Subsystem 2.0 administrator password.

As in the case of other IBM ThinkPads, this sturdy machine weighs 5.33 lbs and measures 12’ x 9.8’ x1.4’. IBM bags which can be purchased at an extra cost are of very good design and quality and suit this ThinkPad perfectly.  The performance reviews have been very favorable with the T30 series.  This notepad, which was originally priced at $2949, can often be found for under $200 now in used or refurbished condition.

What makes T30 a winner in the market is the legendary sales and service support of IBM.  Though this product comes with a 3 year warranty, you can opt for many other flexi maintenance plans by paying an extra fee and purchase up to 5 years warranty support. IBM has a super efficient supply chain which enables IBM to guarantee spare product delivery within 24 – 48 hrs from the time of placing a service call.
