Genuine business machine
Dec 29, 2007Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Hard disk shock protector, soild casing, very low heat
Cons: No SD-Card reader
Opinion:
I bought the machine on a whim, and the first 'IBM' too but no regrets. After the usual boring and lengthy Windows Update, email data trasnfers and program installs, I found the machine to be surprisingly friendly. Keyboard has a nice light but definite feel, the lid feels very solid and no doubt it was designed to protect the screen from accidents. I had an upgrade from 1GB to 2GB RAM, and this is good enough with the Intel T7200 for most applications. I use this for business and travel and the occasional gaming, so the weight of around 2.5kg (14" screen) is more than acceptable. Might even go for another RAM upgrade in the future but things are ok for time being. Another surprise was how cool the machine remains after long usages, the fans never even kicked in. You can name me another machine that can do that.

Sep 27, 2006Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Reliable, stable, steady
Cons: Black design
Opinion:
No doubt a good laptop, reliable and stable. Been using for ard 2 months, no problems at all. The only con is the black design. But i guess IBM choose black cos it the most lasting color? Anti-shock, hdd protection makes u feel more safe when carrying the laptop ard. The LCD screen is also good when compared to others. Performance wise is abt the same as others but has a edge over the rest cos it's real stable. If u intend to use the laptop for long period of time, IBM laptops r the best choice.
Terrible Svc

Pros: Light for travellers
Cons: Terrible after service.
Opinion:
Just bought this less than a month ago, and had just started using only last week as I was traveling. Was in Penang when the pblm started. The think vantage program just kept coming out on its own, and the keyboard did not work. When I typed on it, it went beep but nothing appeared. Only thing that functioned was the mouse, which was practically useless, since I couldn't answer to my emails. When I restarted the notebook, an error msg popped up saying "Stuck Key". I managed to get IBM's number in Singapore, and called them up. The lady I spoke to, did not really understand the problem, and kept insisting that I could have installed something that I should not have. This was obviously a hardware problem, and it should not have happened to a new notebook. She gave me the number of the technical centre in Penang, and I confirmed the number with her. However, when ... Read more
