Laptop IBM T43 or Gateway T-6330U?
Two models that caught my notice today:
- Refurbished IBM ThinkPad T43 Notebook Intel Pentium 730 (1.6GHz), 512MB
RAM, 40GB HDD, 14.1-inch TFT LCD $300 Only Free Ship at Buy.com Till 12-19-08 - Refurbished Gateway T-6330U Notebook Intel Dual-Core 14.0-inch 3GB RAM,
250GB HDD - $500 Only Shipping Free at Buy.com Till 12-19-208
As you can see both are refurbished and whereas ThinkPad has 512MB Memory,
Now take a look at the pricing: IBM ThinkPad T43 will cost $300 only and Gateway
Gateway T-6330U features 3GB RAM. And storage capacity of ThinkPad (40GB)
is appx. 20% of this Gateway Model (250GB). Both feature Appx. 14.1"
TFT LCD Screen. However, Dual-Core processor of T43 is not my recommendation.
Core 2 Duo definitely is much ahead in performance.
T-6330U will cost - $500. Obviously, an ongoing promotion of $10 instant rebate
(No coupon, no Mail-in Rebate) applies on both. Reviews
of T43 suggests that it is a good choice if you are looking for a highly
durable yet light laptop. But I quite agree with this cnet
review, Gateway T-6330U is a good choice for budget minded shoppers who
need reasonable processing speed at an affordable price. - Final note: Both are refurbished items but come with some soft of comforting
warranty. - Both deals are good at Buy.com through 12/19/2008.
