Default Portable Truck Computers

I don't know too much about computer technology but I do know that I found
a place in Laval Quebec Canada where portable Truck Computers are selling at incredible low prices like I have never seen before.

I picked up a fully loaded mint condition rebuilt IBM Pentium III portable Lap Top for $ 225.00 Canadian.
It's got DVD, Office, XP and anything you can think of!
Great little device, even the cover is made of Titanium!
( See attached picture )

I could'nt believe that I got such a deal so I brought it back to the house and called my Son in Law who is the Technical and Computer Director for a large information firm.

He came over to the house and gave my little Lap Top a complete going over!

When I told him that I had paid $ 225. Canadian for it, he said that I had got a steal of a deal!
They normally sell for a thousand dollars new and six hundred used!

I believe my son in law but if there is anyone out there who could take a look at the attached picture, I would appreciate a second opinion!

If this Portable Lap Top is as good as it seems to be, I will buy a few more for friends and family as I go back to Laval Quebec every month to pick up
da frozen french fries!! Oui! Oui!

Here are the Specs on this great little portable computer!!

IBM THINKPAD T23...225$

-Intel Pentium III 700MHz
-Écran 15" XGA
-Disque Dur 12GB
-Mémoire 256MB
-1 Port USB
-Lecteur DVD
-Modem 56K V90
-Windows XP

I'm not a tech buff,but this IBM Portable is in the truck and doing my paperless log book now for me!!

trip information, tolls, accounting, PC miles, Routing, you name it, it does it for you!!
