crackhbob Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I'm lookin at buying this laptop, a IBM ThinkPad A31p. It's found on IBM's site for 3600$. I can get it for 1400$. I haven't been able to find any shortcomings with this model but I wanted to get the input of the many wonderful people in the neowin community before shellin out that much money. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I love the IBM laptops. I own a A21m, and buy for most of my clients IBM laptops. Have had little problems with the actual laptop or support from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailgreg Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Looks good, how are you getting such a good price? I have the I series 1300, it is works pretty good, I have used it everyday for almost a year :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymonkey Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Can't comment about the A31p but I have a T21 and can't complain (one minor gripe about a crack through the keyboard surround), and before that I had a 600 series. Sure ThinkPad's aren't the cheapest laptops but you do - IMHO - get a rock solid, well built laptop. The online support is excellent as well in terms of locating the latest drivers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 IBM = 3 yr warranty, no questions asked go buy an IBM off ebay that isn't 3yrs old, call up IBM and ask for a replacement. they'll send one out to you no questions asked..all you have to do is mail the old one in when you receive the new one.

phantomAI Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Yeah, IBMs are great , although I never got one because of the expensive price. But, if you are getting a good deal for the laptop, by all means get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
