Hi,
I can get my hands on a few Thinkpad X40 12" Notebooks:
http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/review/2004/06/23/IBM-ThinkPad-X40-U...
It's a laptop which was released in 2004, but now seems to have better specs (and cheaper) then a subnotebook. Intel Mobile Pentium 4/1200 MHz CPU
Of course they mean Intel Mobile Centrino (which is comparible with a P4 .. they didn't actually put a full blown P4 in there!)
512 Mb ram 40 GB HD
4200rpm, quite slow
12" TFT
It's a color screen, just in case you're doubting ;)
QWERTY
Did you know a Thinkpad has a backlit keyboard?
DVD-ROM + CD-RW
Apparently, the DVD-ROM and CD-RW are only available through the docking station. (which you also get, of course)
stereo-speakers
I think they mean that you can connect a headphone on it (I really don't seem to find the speakers on it otherwise)
2 x USB Ethernet Wifi 802.11b
Did I say it also has bluetooth? And IrDA (who uses Infrared ports anyway?)
SD-cardreader 56K modem touchpoint (no touchpad, indeed, it's a nippled laptop)
Or trackpoint, .. and you know the jokes ;)
PCMCIA slot docking station Windows XP Professional license 268 x 211 x 23.8mm (WxDxH) weight of 1.24kg Batterylife: 2.5h (up to 5 with 12cell but not provided)
Availability: 1 AZERTY @ 215e 1 QWERTY @ 225e (and Intel Mobile Centrino 1400 Mhz)
It's 7e extra (per laptop) for shipping it safely to the lab.
I'm ordering today, so if you want one, just let me know.
-Kenny
