Description: This is a sort of entry level laptop from 2001. It has a 13.3 inch XGA (1024x768) screen, an 800 MHz Celeron processor, a CD-ROM drive, a single type III cardbus slot, intel eepro100 (in a mini PCI slot), a lucent winmodem, 1 usb port, VGA, parallel and serial outputs. The CD-ROM drive is in the "UltraBay 2000' slot so it can be upgraded/swapped for floppy, DVD, battery, etc. Builtin sound w/1 speaker, microphone, line in, and stereo headphone jack. Supports up to 256 MB RAM (PC100 SODIMMs). Came with a 15 GB IBM TravelStar HDD. This machine can be docked. 16v Li-ion battery. Does APM or ACPI. Sound works well with alsa, std kernel drivers. Video is ati rage mobility p/m which has no native linux driver and must be used with vesa framebuffer mode. This winmodem works with the lucent drivers. Uhm, yeah I think that's everything.

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.38
Distribution: Lubuntu



Runs nicely with the LXDE desktop but is too slow for Gnome. Even Xfce was a bit slow. Limited RAM requires that you use a lightweight desktop.

Rock-solid like all the IBM Thinkpads. I added a pccard USB2 adapter to allow it to connect to modern devices.
