Am I the only person that doesn't see this? I followed your directions after pressing the ThinkVantage button AND also tried using my recovery CD but I don't see any options to customize the restore. I only have options to save files have changed since the last restore. I have a T60 and the ThinkVa...

I recently bought from Bill a 2373JTU T42 which comes with the IBM b/g Mini PCI card (Atheros chipset Ar5004G). For a wireless router, I hesitate between buying DLink DI-624 or Netgear WGT624. My question is which between those two is more suited to benefit from the Super G technology? Please relate...

If you buy the thinkpad from someone else than IBM (such as Bill), do you have to ask Bill or IBM to get the free cd's?

WARNING!! I called Ibm USA first, they told me that yes the warranty should apply internationally, as for new thinkpads. I then called Ibm Canada and they said it should be international, except that to be absolutely sure, I should call Ibm Global Financing with the serial number of my machine. As y...

Thank you for your helpful answer, hausman.

lvlolvlo, if you go read all the replies on the first page of this thread, you will see that the canadian government never miss a chance to apply its taxes.

The details about the warranty of certified used thinkpads are given here on their website. http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HelpDisplay?1&-840&-1&subject=2580948 Is the "1 year limited manufacturer's warranty" an international warranty or not? Being a canadian that will move to the ...

they seem to have the same warranty too.. other difference is in the software u get, but most of that can be downloaded... seems strange to me to have a $400 just for wireless card and software tho Yes, as you said warranty is the same. And the strange thing about the softwares is that it's the one...

On IBM.com, the 2 models are: 23736VU for 2549$: http://www5.pc.ibm.com/us/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_23736VU and 2373JTU for 2149$: http://www5.pc.ibm.com/us/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_2373JTU The ONLY difference that I see between the two is that the 23736VU has Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG...

Thank you all for your numerous answers... it is really appreciated! :D To sum it up: - Both taxes have to be paid to be legit. - Avoid UPS if possible. - Go pick up you notebook on the other side of the border might save you some money in international shipping. My recommendation is FedEx Internati...

thank you for answering Quattro. From what I heard, the "gift"thing doesn't work when the item you are buying worth a lot (as a notebook). Based on your recommendation, I'll try to avoid UPS. But for the taxes, are you absolutely certain both taxes are applicable? If yes, how come I would only pay o...

I am planning to buy a thinkpad from the states (probably from Bill, as IBM-Canada prices are outrageous), and I wish to know how Canadians get taxed at the borders. Federal Tax only (GST) or Fed Tax AND Provincial Tax (PST)? I think it could change depending on the province you are recieving the th...

IBM currently has a couple of specials running, this one has a T42 for $1,599 that is pretty decked out for that price. It's got everything I need/want and more. But it doesn't list a model number, and when you click "Add to cart" it gives an error message. I also think this offer is under the "Dis...

Writing from Canada here...

If I buy a T42 from Bill and end-up with a chinese keyboard, do you think I would be able to get a Thai keyboard (for free or for a small cost) from either Ibm USA, Ibm canada or Bill?
