i never bought it.. was just considering it

Xtreme Barton · Sep 19, 2005

it all depends i guess on your taste... but the pIII, 256mb sdram, 40gb HD does not appeal to me...

i would much rather piece one together myself

and maybe it did fall off a truck .. but that would add to my list of not appealing !!

Xtreme Barton · Sep 19, 2005

laptops are one of the last things to steal, and on the other hand very tempting.
small, expenive, and just plain awesome to have..but your screwed if you get cought with it.
around here, a laptop is attention grabbing. this one is the only asus laptop ive ever seen. if it were stolen, i would recognise it immidiately in use, and i have both the wired and wireless MAC address's written down. (only useful if the person was stupid enough to keep it and use it on the school network)

i would personally beat anyone stupid enough to steal my laptop to the point of lifeloing ingury, and anyone stupid enough to buy it stolen senseless.

i dont really have a point, but dont buy a stolen laptop...unless its a super awesome deal.

I would be worried about shock damage. The screen might of gotten cracked.

Well, since I'm the (self acclaimed) IBM T series expert, let me put my oar in here;

That much for a NEW T23 is a great price! Just as long as it is legal!

It is older, but it is also bulletproof!

As far as overclocking, forget it. They don't!

You have the 1.2, and I think that is as high as they go. (I just today got my first T23, I have had numerous T20-22s.) The memory is upgradable to 2, 512 sticks, so you can get 1 gig of memory.

Give me a break I'd pawn it on eBay so fast. And besides, theres a reason why insruance companies will insure, Desktops, Jewlrey, cameras, anything you can think of but not a notebook. Hmm how strange.

I have a t23 and i love it it runs at 1.2, and 256 megs of ram perfect for light laptop usage, there is no point in overclocking though

petteyg359 · Sep 23, 2005

For $400 you can get a much better laptop (as in P4-M, 512MB-1GB RAM, 15", dvd/cdrw, 80gb) on eBay.

goog` · Sep 24, 2005
