Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Built specifically for mobile business professionals, the remanufactured IBM ThinkPad T41 notebook PC offers top-of-the-line functionality at a price that's easy on the wallet. The notebook is highly portable at just under 5 pounds, with an average battery life of up to 7.5 hours. Even better, it features a fast 1.6 GHz Intel Centrino processor that's speedy enough for most gaming and multimedia applications. The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage and features the latest in power-saving technologies, letting you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also boasts 512 MB of built-in memory--a good start for most power users. You can even expand it up to 2 GB (1024 MB x 2) should you want to max out the processing power. To make the computer more affordable for the average user, IBM included a relatively small 40 GB hard drive, which still offers more than enough room for home productivity software, family photos, and a decent-sized audio library despite its compact size.

The ThinkPad T41's video and graphics are powered by an ATI Radeon 9000 card and 32 MB of video RAM. It's not the strongest card for rendering 3D images, but it's powerful enough for most demanding business productivity software. Meanwhile, the 14.1-inch TFT active matrix screen features a native 1024 x 768 resolution. Audio-wise, the computer boasts an integrated audio card and a pair of internal stereo speakers. And to ensure that you have access to CDs and DVD movies while on the road, the notebook offers a DVD-ROM drive, which writes and reads CDs at 24x, rewrites CDs at 10x, and reads DVDs at 8x. The drive offers an ideal way to bring along additional data or audio/video files when on a business trip. Rounding out the peripheral set is an 86-key keyboard and an UltraNav dual-pointing mouse.

Connectivity options aren't vast, but should satisfy most business users. Most importantly, the unit includes support for 802.11a/b/g wireless networking, letting users connect to compatible systems without attaching an Ethernet cable. Other jacks include two USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals, from digital cameras to MP3 players, a parallel port, a CRT monitor port, one S-video out, two audio ports (headphone jack and mic in), one PCMCIA (PC card) Type III slot (which can also accommodate two Type I or II cards), and built-in RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors for telephony and LAN connections.

Additional features include an embedded security subsystem, which allows users to authenticate and encrypt data communications; a built-in 56k modem; and a standard nine-cell rechargeable lithium ion battery. The notebook comes preloaded with Windows XP Pro (which includes Microsoft's IIS Web server, backup and recovery utilities, Remote Desktop, and other enhanced business features), along with such applications as Norton AntiVirus 2004, InterVideo WinDVD, and Sonic RecordNow.

The T41 measures 12.2 by 1 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and comes with the standard 90-day warranty for remanufactured products.
