IBM ThinkPad - Yeah11

Pretty good machine for a great price

 

I'm tempted to award five stars, but there are a few issues with this very good and affordable laptop. First, don't believe the Technical Details data on the 802.11 Wifi. I got mine from U.S. Micro and couldn't get the wifi working. An email from their...

Excellent

 

Product arrived quickly and works as guaranteed. I almost spent $400 on a piece of junk from a box store. For $130 I got a better laptop, and the thing is built like a tank. Fantastic -- one of the best purchases I've ever made on Amazon.

Fantastic Machine!

 

I use this laptop for my weather station software, so it runs 24/7 and it is on Wi-Fi Network. I did place cooling pad under the unit to keep cool for 24 hr operation. My unit came with extended battery which worked great after suffering two 45 minute...
