The IBM ThinkPad T40 is among the best portables we've tested. It's pricey, but in testing, the T40 delivered top-tier performance and excellent battery life.

Scaling down to a 9.5-mm-high optical drive bay (from the more typical 12.5 mm) allowed IBM to reduce system height to just over an inch. Even with our test unit's high-capacity battery, which comes standard and juts out by 0.8 inches in the back, the unit measures only 1.2 by 12.2 by 10.8 inches (HWD).

IBM offers the T40 with a broad array of wireless options: an 802.11a/b combo (as on our test unit), Intel Centrino 802.11b, and Cisco 802.11b with LEAP compliance. On our tests, the wireless connection persisted until we were 200 feet away from an access point; only the Dell system was better at 210 feet.

There was no media packaged with the laptop, so in the case of total hard drive disaster, you are required to call IBM. What you get instead is a restore partition on the hard drive. This makes it easier for a large company to deploy their own images for easy restoring, but to the average user it means you pay for 6GB of disk space you can't use without reformatting. It also means that if you have a hard drive failure, you will be SOL. Fortunately, IBM will speedily send you a restore CD if you request one from tech support, or will send you a new hard drive if it is completely unusable. It would be nice if you could request to have it shipped with the computer.

One of the things to keep in mind about the T40 is that it is designed in many ways for being deployed in droves across a large business. Features like Access IBM are more useful to large IT departments than to individuals who just want a laptop

The T40 has a touch pad in addition to the IBM TrackPoint stick, which now comes with traditional, double-wide convex and double-wide concave caps. Many users will find that the wider caps improve on-screen navigation. IBM keyboards continue to set the industry standard.
