Yes this laptop should be a great replacement for the t23, it has a dual core processor, making it faster than a 1.13 Pentium 3. Oh yes and as mentioned by Corner Stone Savings it has a 15.4 in screen.

Yes this is a great laptop and especially for those who want a larger scree. It has a 15.4 inch screen.

Sounds like you've already gotten the right answer and have ordered this model. Just to reassure you, I have had this Zenbook for about 6 months (I am a diligent review reader before making a purchase) and have been extremely happy with it. It is very light, sleek, and quick. The battery is respectable and I appreciate that it stays cooler than any laptop I've ever had, which makes laptop use possible without the need for leg protection. I, too, wanted to stick with Win7. I think you will like it.

It is a very good laptop, price notwithstanding. I can't imagine it working any better just because of a higher price tag.

I purchased the batteries for the very same laptop; I have the 15.4 Lenovo T61 model and both batteries work very well with the laptop. Considering that the laptop is "dated" by technology standards; each battery has been holding up quite well. I get about 4.5 hrs of usage.

Well judging by my last purchase from Datasales co. I bought a t40 and t41 refurbished with xp in January 2010. The T41 is still chugging along saddly the t40 finally gave up last month. Both have been survivors of at least a dozen falls. That is why i just purchased this t400.

This is very good laptop overall, just Windows 7 are slowing it down quite a bit ( despite 3 GB of RAM installed).If you gonna use this I recommend replacing Windows w/ Linux ( I use Lubuntu very light & efficient free OS).

Yes it is a very nice laptop for the price. The only problem is that it has Windows 8 as the OS. If I were you I would wait till Windows 9 comes out and then purchase it.

I'm not certion, I shopped so many I cant not recall. I believe this is a 4th generation.This laptop is serving me well and quite fast as I do quite a bit of multitasking and going back and forth between screens.

We have a few of this laptops. They are in perfect working condition. They may have small physical blemishes if any.

I purchased a refurbished unit from Tampa Laptops. The unit I received was in no way "mint," as the device had been in-service for a period of time. The unit was well cleaned and had no visible signs of abuse, but by no means would you confuse it for "new." I've had it under daily use for several weeks now and it performs perfectly. One word of caution for anyone buying a Lenovo/IBM laptop via Amazon or its resellers. You cannot count on receiving the exact unit when specified in the item description (e.g. T400 7417-TPU). You will receive something that is functionally similar, but may have variations in specifications.

yes but the one I bought was very slow and I had many problems with it I have a Lenovo thinkpad now I am much happier with it, I bought it off the best buy website, I suggest you do the same I have had numerous problems with Dells they're not worth it look up refurbished laptops on Best Buy's site don't buy from amazon, trust me...

Hi John, thanks. i'm close to buying this. Are you happy with your purchase? I heard the trackpad is not as responsive so now leaning towards the Toshiba T115.

I'm also looking at this laptop myself. I've been wondering if it will run fine with Linux, and from the input here things are looking good! I'm looking to run Debian, probably the testing branch as it has a little more up-to-date kernel and software, but I'm also considering Arch. That distro is always on the bleeding edge so the most recent software should (hopefully) pick up every piece of hardware on this machine.

I'm not familiar with that series of laptops. Are you looking to replace or upgrade? Contingent upon that question, I'd search online for answers. T9600 is great, if it fits for you.

Rich, Thanks for the reply. Let me know what you see popping onto the market. Only 3 cells on this one, I wonder why. Good enough for me tho. This one is more full featured than those other little ones. They are too limited and small. This one has a good price. I know, for a little more I could get a regular laptop. I just like the toy feeling of it. And it doesn't take a lot of power to stay on for hours. Shipping is 3 to 5 weeks! So there's time to cancel if another one looks good. Nice to have a little thread here to check while I wait. Thanks.

I loved my Toshibas, then I gambled and tried something different. Read some reviews and bought this Lenovo and got so much more for my dollar. I love this machine. If Lenovo keeps this standard my next laptop will be another Lenovo.

It should work fine for you as a student. I've had this laptop for a number of yrs and I've had no problems with it. I use it for Word and Excel. I purchased it as a refurbished unit and it has performed quite well. I use it to work on from home at times. I refuse to purchase another one unless this one completely dies on me. I hope this helps you in your decision to purchase a Lenovo laptop.
