I bought this New T41 2 months ago, Product is awesome, but after 6 weeks of use, the hard disk crashed, and when i called up IBM, they said that they would replace the hard disk with a new one, and the data from the old one cannot be restored. Lost all my data. So, if ur planning to buy it, I would suggest u to buy an external data storage.

I give this laptop a rating of 5 because it run good out of the box. have to other laptop this one run the best no problems at all. very good wireless card can go outside and still pick up signal. screen like my hp very high resolution. battery last long. good for work. speed amost the same as my dell p4 3.2ht, dell beat by a few points in the benchmark test.
but didn’t get it for speed. drive could have been better, had to put more ram. but it a very good laptop if you are taken it to work or on the go.

nice laptop. make sure to spend the extra dough and get the 1400×1050 screen cause it is awesome.
it has decent battery life of around 3hrs.
but the dvd/cd-rom doesnt read anything. not even store bought discs. i have had ibm ship me a new cdrom unit and it still stinks. however because i use this laptop primarily to program .NET i am still thinking about keeping it even though the cdrom is a glaring defect. the problem may be based in windows so i cant say for sure its IBM’s fault, but come on. out of the box and it cant play even my store bought DVD’s?

(a) Best keyboard ever made for laptops, (b) Decent speed, runs Office 2007 O.k., (c) Acceptable graphics (ATI 7500) or good graphics (ATI 9000 / 9600 / FireGL, the latter 2 can play Far Cry 1.0), (d) Thinklight is very useful on overseas plane flights, (e) fits perfectly on all airplane tray tables, (f) Outstanding battery life with CD-battery + 9-cell (5-6 hrs if you dim the screen), (g) It actually sleeps and wakes up properly unlike 50% of all laptops, and (h) You can just grab it and run to a conference room, yanking it out of the minidock, and it will sleep properly, unlike newer (T60, T400) machines where you have to hit a key first !!
I have used about 4x of these machines at work over the past 6 years. I just got my 4th machine so each machine lasts about 2 years. The typical failure is a really bad/sticky key (1st), a failure of some buttons on the synaptics track pad (2nd), a hard drive failure (3rd), or a failure of the power-port male plug, making it difficult (but not impossible) to charge the unit. With the exception of the hard drive failure, NONE of the failures were catastrophic “I cannot do any work right now” type of failures, so the system is robust.

Back in 2004 I did quite a bit of research before settling on a T41 (from newegg.com). I got more RAM for 768M total. Over four years later it is still going very strong.
Great keyboard, light (even today), thin (even today), fairly fast, well-built screen tilting mechanism. Quiet, doesn’t heat up too much.
If you’re a vi user, you probably won’t like the position of the Escape key (you can remap it to F1).
It took about three years for the battery to become unusable (I recently got a new one for about[...]).
The built-in wireless antenna stopped working and I got a new one from Lenovo support (for free, it was still under the 3-year warranty), but the old one fixed itself as soon as the replacement arrived and has been working now for a few years since.
The left 25% of the space bar don’t produce a space when pressed — started happening after around three years.
The left button on the lower mouse controls stopped working — started happening after four years.
I’ve been using a Macbook Pro for work, and every time I open the T41 now, it’s such a relief to be able to tilt the screen as far back as I want.
