There are two seems inside of the sleeve, holding the bag sides together. You can't miss those, they are all way down the bag. The top-end of those seems is the most scratchy area. I guess you could avoid that scratching if you slide the Thinkpad carefully enough inside of it or as another member su...

Dont get me wrong, it is nothing like a deep profound scratch. But it is a thin yet recognizable scratch about 10inch. I tried to reduce it with a dampened cloth, which reduced the effect somwhat, but the bitter taste stays. And so does my Thinkpad out of the sleeve. :wink: I already wrote to booq a...

I received the Powersleeve and after sliding my T42 inside of it 2 or three times i recognized a long scratch on the T42 surface along the whole case. It is a result from the seam inside the sleeve. It is the seam from the exterior seem. This is obviously a profound design flaw, at least if using th...

Hi, this might be asked many time but i cant find a conclusive answer. How do i create a rescue DVD, because i want to get rid of the hidden partition (selling harddrive). Most important: I dont want to backup any data, i just want to create a DVD with that i can restore the Thinkpad (T42) to its --...

everything you want to know is in that PM of mine.

besides, WF charges 15 to 35 usd for international shipping.

hi! thank you for your quick reply. AFAIK USPS is the cheapest and therefore best method to ship. Maybe you could calculate it through on their webpage, since i dont have exact size, weight of the items. My ZIPcode in Germany is 80687. One more question, did anybody compare the Waterfield to the Pow...

I WANT TO BUY THAT SLEEVE FROM YOU. unfortunately i live in germany, but i can pay in advance via confirmed paypal without any additional cost for you, since i dont use credit card. Payment could be arranged within seconds. Let me know how you deside.

I now received my Powersleeve. The thickness is very good, the laptop will be well protected in there.Unfortunately with my T42 14" it moves a bit around in the bag, the bag is not fitting perfectly. The bag looks quite great, but i absolutely dont like the logos printed and attached just everythere...

Congrats, a fine machine. I see you have Vista installed. Thank you! It is indeed a great computer, i cant resist switching it on, though i have to study at the moment. But it also looks very nice if the lid is closed. I am curious what Lenovo is going to do with the brand. I hope something good. I...

3 days ago i received this wonderful computer, used and one year old. T42 2378 1.8ghz, 512mb, 14" 9600ati, sxga, 80gig, bluetooth, no FPR, IBM Wifi Atheros a/b/g. 2 years warranty left Panel: It has the Samsung SXGA panel, which colours are vibrant enough to let me forget about not getting the hydis...

OCZ has won more than one award from anandtech and about 100 more awards from overclocker sites. In desktop area, they are absolut HIGHEND and very stable on almost every board, like crucial ballistix. They use differnt kind of chips in different modules. Everybody who thinks OCZ is not a good brand...

I am looking for used or new 1GB or 512MB DDR 333 PC2700 for my T42 2373. Preferably crucial or some other major brand with warranty.

i refer to the forums here and review in the net. of course it is more than a dust protector, i made that term up to show what i think about the thickness of the vyper. i never had one so i should be quiet. Though i intend to order the booq powersleeve these days. I'd better like the waterfield, but...

i read that the booq vyper sleeve only protects from dust. if it drops, you'll be out of luck with the booq vyper.

I found one (t42) here in another threads. Thank you for your reply.

I am looking for a T42 14" SXGA in good condition. Preferably the FVU

edit: i found one.

Hi! I offer you 1549 for the Thinkpad. How's the fan noise? I heard with newer models (late 2005) they have become less noisy. Thank you.

Thank you for answer. I took the Atheros Card for now (dunno if I or II). I'm planning on using Suse10 and later Gentoo when there's time. I think its good to have also the a-band (5ghz) since i read a test, that walls do better shield the rays if you are a fanatic. Search REFLEX Studie which was ma...

anyone a clue?

somebody knows if the 2200bg can search while connected at the same time?

Hi! Anyone knows whats better for Linux, the intel 2200bg or the atheros abg miniPCI chip?

Better means

a) higher reception distance
b) lesser net losses
c) easier to configure

did i miss something?

darn i saw a apple PB the first time, awesome. very haptic, all metal.. could not recognize the fan sound but i would not care if a book looks that good..

I have the chance to get an Atheros Wifi Card against the build-in Intel 2200 Wifi in my T42. What do you think is better/easier (for Linux) ?

A simple password won't protect your harddrive if the date on it is not encryptet. Therefore if the data stays unencryptet with the FPR (what i assume), the IBM solution is not convincing.

since its not dual channel (ddr2), the size does not matter. you should pay attention to the same Timings (ns). Your Thinkpad will take your slowest module and will "downgrade" your faster one. So go for 2 equal modules.

Do you have a Finger Print Reader? Is the fan noise acceptable.. ? :?: It's 100% quiet ;-) Read my post above. No FPR. You can buy a USB FPR on stores anyway. Cool, thank you for your replies. I, unfortunately have to take the integrated FPR with the T42, i will post my experience in a new thread i...

T42 - 2373-4WU

I purchased an extra 1GB ram so I have 1.5GB total.

Works like a charm especially compiling. I'm using it for game development. (mobile phones)

Whats a 4WU model? w/o FPR?

Ok i read a lot more threads now and i sum up: The T42 is cooler, thus less noise level. But - getting a "silent" Thinkpad is pure luck. It depends on: - Bus-System/Speed of machine - Form Factor (14/15) - Build Date - Quality of Fan - FPR ?? (really?) So, i am getting a T42 w. FingerPrintReader now...
