Amazon.com Product Description
Built specifically for business road warriors, the corporate class IBM ThinkPad T30 is a thin, light notebook that will help you get the job done, wherever you roam. And because it's been factory reconditioned, it's a great value. It features a battery-sipping 1.6 GHz Pentium 4-M (Mobile) for long battery life while away from the office and the robust Windows XP Professional operating system. Weighing just under 6 pounds and measuring 1.5 inches thin, this notebook also features a 30 GB hard drive, 256 MB of installed RAM, a bright 14.1-inch screen, and a removable DVD-ROM drive.

The Basics

Hard Drive: The 30 GB hard drive is quite small in comparison to contemporary business-oriented notebooks (where 60 GB is becoming more the standard). However, it's still more than enough room for loading a business productivity suite and storing a wealth of spreadsheets, documents, and presentations.
Processor: The 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium 4-M (Mobile) processor offers enough speed for your work today, though it's speed lags behind what is available in contemporary notebooks with this processor (May 2005). Thanks to its Mobile features, the processor can save power when its not needed, thus conserving battery life.
Memory: The 256 MB of installed RAM will get you started, but you'll want to add more to handle any kind of multimedia application and most business productivity suites. This notebook has a 1 GB maximum RAM capacity.
CD/DVD Drive: The DVD-ROM drive enables you to access CDs and DVD movies while on the road. It's also removable, so you can travel even lighter.
Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 86-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad.

Screen, Graphics and Sound
Video and graphics are powered by the ATI RADEON 7500 card (AGP 4x) with 16 MB of video RAM, which provides a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels on the 14.1-inch screen. It also features an integrated Sound Blaster 16/Pro-compatible audio card with headphone and microphone jacks.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The T30 is loaded with just the basics (i.e., no wi-fi) for external connectivity:

2 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 VGA monitor port
1 Serial port
1 Parallel port
1 infrared port
1 S-Video out
2 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type I/II)
1 headphone jack

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Gigabit Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
This system comes with the Windows XP Professional Edition (which adds Microsoft's IIS Web server, back-up and recovery utilities, Remote Desktop, and other enhanced business features) with Service Pack 2 featuring Advanced Security Technologies, which helps to reduce unwanted downloads and pop-ups while surfing the Web.

Dimensions and Weight
Perfect for portability, the T30 weighs 5.7 pounds and measures 12 x 9.8 x 1.5 inches (WxDxH).

It's powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery that has up to a 3.2-hour battery life.

Product Description

Packing admirable performance and battery life into Acer's chic Folio design, the Aspire 5000 Series features high on the list of value-centric computers that offer powerful processing capabilities and thinner-lighter mobility.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Acer Aspire AS5102WLMI (LX.ABH06.014) is a great choice for mobile professionals who like to play as hard as they work--and who have an eye on the budget. This Aspire 5102 has a bright 15.4-inch LCD that takes advantage of Acer's CrystalBrite set of display technologies, which provide great color saturation and excellent contrast in all environments. The powerful 1.6 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50 processor is ready to handle the demanding 64-bit applications that are coming down the pipeline, and will speed you through your work today. Other features include a large 120 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), a multi-format DVD burner, 5-in-1 memory card reader, integrated 54g wi-fi connectivity (802.11b/g), and Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition operating system.

The Basics
<ul>

Hard Drive: Above average in size, the 120 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of tens of thousands of songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software.

Processor: The 1.6 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.

Each processing core has a 256 KB L2 cache (for a 512 KB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

Memory: The 1 GB of built-in memory (2 x 512 MB, PC4200, DDR2 SDRAM) is a great start, and it does offer a very fast 533 MHz speed. But you'll want to take advantage of its expandability to 4 GB to handle today's demanding productivity and multimedia applications. Also, to receive the benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.

CD/DVD Drive: The DVD burner/reader is compatible with writing data to DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM, and CD-R/RW discs.

Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 85-key keyboard and an electro-static touchpad with four-way scroll button. </ul> Screen, Graphics and Sound
The 15.4-inch WXGA LCD has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels--perfect for watching movies in their intended 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Video is powered by the ATI Radeon Xpress 1100, which delivers stable and reliable visual power for business and communications applications, demanding 3-D games, and the coming Windows Vista operating system. It also has an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectSound and Sound Blaster Pro compatibility.

Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments. It's great for sophisticated professional applications, photo manipulation, and immersive 3-D games.
