IBM Thinkpad T43 14.1" Notebook(refurb) - $299(FREE SHIPPING)!

J&R has this deal. This looks like a great deal for someone who wants a nice, durable, and business grade laptop just to do light stuff like type a paper and surf the web. Not to mention it is a Thinkpad! For all you Thinkpad lovers, you can't miss this one.
I would have probably gone for it myself if I didn't have a T61p and needed a cheap and good option. Check it out.

Product Specs:
Intel Pentium M 730 1.6GHz / 512MB (upgrade option 2GB) / 40GB Hard Drive / 14.1 XGA - 1024x768 Resolution / 8x DVD Reader / 802.11abg Wireless / XP Pro/ 90 day warranty

Weight? Warranty?

(Never bought refurbed. Are they trustworthy?)

 

Warranty = 90 days from J&R. Not sure if you can purchase more from Lenovo. Contact them and find out. I don't know of the policy on refurbs.

Weight = 5.1/5.52 lbs(I think one number is with the 9cell battery and the other is without)

J&R = I have seen them around the web, but have never bought from them personally, so I can't say. Here is what resellerratings has on them. Looks like there is a rep that responds to any negative comments, so thats good. Shows they atleast care somewhat


Here is a review of the T43

 

J&R is a trustworthy website.

 

Buy also has this deal too. Not a bad notebook the IBMs are well built.

 

Thanks for the info. 90 days seems not enough even for a non-refurb
