Review
IBM's long-lasting ThinkPad T40/T41/T42 series
combines a svelte, thin-and-light chassis with Intel's Pentium M processor,
the 855PM chipset and a choice of wireless adapters. Choosing Intel's
PRO/Wireless adapter (as fitted in our review sample) makes your T40 a true
Centrino notebook. The ThinkPad T40/T41/T42 also offers a dual-band, 802.11a/b
antenna; an excellent keyboard; and wafer-thin swappable modules. It's not
the fastest Pentium M notebook we've tested, but it's a business traveller's
dream nonetheless: an extra-thin system with superb battery life if you buy
the bigger of the two batteries. Those who crave more speed should consider
another Pentium M notebook, the Acer TravelMate 800, but businesses who add
the ThinkPad T40/T41/T42 to their lineup can rest assured that they're getting an
exceptional notebook. It's an Editors' Choice winner, despite its relatively
steep price.
