IBM's long-lasting ThinkPad T40 series combines a svelte, thin-and-light chassis with Intel's new Pentium M processor, the 855PM chipset, and a choice of wireless adapters.
The keyboard has a familiar, desktop-PC-like layout.
In true IBM style, the ThinkPad T40 series comes with a dizzying array of choices when you buy it at IBM.
Mobile application performance
Compared to other Pentium M-based thin-and-lights, the ThinkPad T40 demonstrates below-average mobile performance.
All of the Pentium M-based systems we tested showed impressive battery lives of four hours or more.
The ThinkPad T40 is expensive, but as usual, you get what you pay for.
