IBM ThinkPad T43

 

ThinkPad T Series

 
        FEATURES
 
  Fingerprint     The most secure notebooks available are now even better with one integrated security solution out of the box. The combination of the IBM Integrated Fingerprint Reader and the IBM Embedded Security Subsystem is like having a security guard for your T series notebook. The Integrated Fingerprint Reader is built conveniently into the palm rest area of your notebook, making your passwords available at your finger tip. Having to remember and enter multiple passwords is eliminated with a swipe of your finger, and security software is preloaded for an integrated solution out of the box.
 
  Active Protection System     The airbag-like IBM Active Protection System provides unique data protection. Using an integrated, user-configurable motion sensor, it safeguards your valuable data by continuously monitoring your ThinkPad notebook and temporarily stopping the hard drive to help prevent some hard drive crashes when a fall or similar event is detected — providing up to four times greater impact protection than systems without this feature.
 
  Ethernet     High-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is featured on select ThinkPad T Series notebooks. The Gigabit Ethernet standard provides speeds up to 10 times faster than existing 10/100 Ethernet technology, helping to transfer information quickly and increase productivity.
 
  Connection ports     Optimized for connectivity, select ThinkPad T Series notebooks feature up to five built-in communications capabilities: Wi-Fi wireless, Bluetooth® technology, Ethernet, 56K V.92 modem and Infrared port. RJ-45 and RJ-11 ports are standard on all models.
 
  Cisco compatability     Cisco compatibility.  Rigorously tested by a Cisco Systems®-authorized test facility to verify they'll work with appropriate Cisco products. The Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) Program for wireless LAN devices provides proven compatibility with key security features of Cisco infrastructure products.

The ThinkPad is an extremely well build laptop and IBM offers exceptional service on their laptops.  We prefer T43 ThinkPad to all other laptops. 

This laptop currently sells for approximately $1600.00 to $1700.00, but prices change often so please contact us directly for a quote.  Dan Knox Consulting is a authorized IBM Business Partner.
