IBM ThinkPad T42, T42P Windows 2000, XP, Vista Drivers and software
The ThinkPad T42 is a good choice for business professionals looking for a top-notch laptop at a reasonable price.
IBM’s first Dothan laptop is the thin-and-light ThinkPad T42, an update to the popular IBM ThinkPad T41. Battery life for the ThinkPad T42 was also good, although it wasn’t able to outlast the HP Business Notebook nc6000 in our Labs’ tests. the new ThinkPad T42 is perhaps the best value among laptops equipped with Intel’s latest Pentium M upgrade.
