-A mainstream, quite slim, powerful, business laptop, released in 2004. It had a good mix of performance parts, although it departed from the Windows 98 compatibility, had DDR2 ram but not yet SATA or a webcam, even if these features were available at that time on other manufacturers' laptops. Overall, there are very small changes between T43 and the previous T40, T41, T42 series, making the T43 series to feel very dated and slightly underpowered.
+A mainstream, quite slim, powerful, business laptop, released in 2004. It had a good mix of performance parts, although it departed from the Windows 98 compatibility slightly, on the more powerful ATI Radeon 9000/9600 chipsets, had DDR1 ram but not yet SATA or a webcam, even if these features were available at that time on other manufacturers' laptops. Overall, there are very small changes between T42 and the previous T40, T41, series, making the T42 series feel slightly dated.
 The LCD screen has quite good specifications but high resolution models are slightly dimmer overall and on the screen edges. Response time is very high on IPS screens, with lots of ghosting, making the laptop having this display suited only for office use. Also, due to the medium quality screen resizing, running 1024x768 or lower resolutions on 1400x1050 screens looks quite blurry. Screens can be easily replaced between similar models but the connector must also be replaced if using different T4x series screens.
