IBM laptops are renowned for their build quality, many can be dropped 3 feet (voiding the warranty of course) with only scratches to show for it. The laptop keyboard is second to none and compares with the mechanical key travel feel of a decent full keyboard. The battery life exceeds most rivals by a factor of 1.5 to 3x, especially when a second battery is added in the multibay extending life to 4-8 hours comprising 3 hours and 30 minutes from the main battery and an additional 1.75-2 hours from a second ultrabay battery (More can be achieved with lowered screen brightness and intermittent use). They are 1/2 to 1 kilo lighter than comparable laptops from Toshiba, Compaq, HP, Dell and especially when compared with the cheaper budget laptops from non-brand names which often weigh in excess of 3kg, something you will notice if carried around a lot.
The IBM Thinkpad T23 was first introduced during 2002 at a suggested retail price of $3,249 (around £2,500).

PC World review, 23/10/2001
"Overall, however, the T23 offers a higher level of design sophistication and more small luxuries than ... others. For businesses and well-heeled individuals who prefer the eraserhead pointing device and can afford a top-of-the-line lightweight laptop, the T23 is a best-of-breed winner." Read full review
PriceGrabber User Review, 4 out of 5, Oct 9, 2004
"I recently purchased a refurbished IBM T23 Notebook and love it. It has P3 1.13GHZ processor that runs faster than my Compaq 2.7GHZ Celeron desktop with Windows XP Home when running MS Office XP. It came with 128MB ram, upgrade it to 256MB and with a noticeable speed. It feels durable, well built, fullsize keyboard, lightweight. Good value for the price... For those who are looking for lightweight, daily use, on the go type Notebook with exceptional value, this model is what I recommend."
