IBM Laptop question


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

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.
