Psyche

(2000.09 - )

It's lightweight. That's the best I can say for it. This is my laptop which I was forced to purchase by my university because of their lucrative deals with IBM. It is never used for class, and has a hard drive that is way to small (there was a 20GB option if you bought it from IBM . . .). It runs a dual-boot between Windows 2000 and GNU/Linux (based off the SuSE distro :-)

Model International Business Machines Thinkpad T20
MoBo Some IBM based on the Intel 440BX chipset
CPU Intel 700MHz mobile Pentium III
RAM 128MB PC100 SDRAM
HDD 12 GB
FDD Hot swappable with DVD -- i haven't seen mine since i got it.
DVD Toshiba 6x
Display 14.1" (1024x768)
Video S3 Savage iX/8 (8MB SGRAM)
Sound Crystal Soundfusion
Speakers Good pair of earphones (not included)
NIC 3COM Vortex (mini-PCI)
Weight 5.3 lbs
Battery Li-Ion 6-cell (supposedly 3.5hr--usually gets you through a 90min lecture)
Case To quote my roommate: " 0.1% Titanium / 99.9% Rubber"

Memory Benchmark
Integer ALU Bandwidth 333 MB/s About halfway between the expected results of Intel's 440BX chipset with PC100 SDRAM and with PC133 SDRAM . . . in otherwords, like with the processor, pretty good.
