IMPORTANT: All ThinkPad T43p models will have General Availability in April, 2005.All models include Intel 915 PM chipset. Selected models include the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and have "Intel 11b/g wireless" in their description.
These models have Intel(R) Centrino(TM) mobile technology.
All of these ThinkPad T43p models have a modem**, 1 Gigabit Ethernet, ThinkPad UltraNav, IBM Embedded Security Subsystem 2.0, and Bluetooth wireless technology.
Note: Preloads are described in the Description sections of
this document.
This is a GAV PLET. A load sheet will be provided.
These new EMEA GAV part numbers should be set up in SAP as variants.
GAVs are orderable part numbers which have a Sales Building Block
structure. They will phase in over 2004 as new product announcements
occur. They are intended to look and act just like an orderable PN
with one main difference/benefit: Supply is not allocated at the MTM
level.
As supply is not allocated at the MTM level, all orderable PNs can pull
supply from the total pool of available component supply. This will
greatly improve delivery speed and accuracy of committed delivery
dates.

Operating Environment
ThinkPad computers are designed, built, and tested for high quality and reliability. When used properly in standard business environments, a ThinkPad system should be a reliable computing asset for many years. Harsh environments and abuse can damage ThinkPads since they are not intended to withstand extreme temperatures, dust, shock, or other severe physical environments. ThinkPad systems should not be used in unsuitable environments. For example, a ThinkPad system should not be used in non-stationary environments, such as in-vehicle installations, without additional casing or shock dissipation. IBM warrants that the ThinkPad notebook will conform to its Official Published Specifications when used in a suitable physical operating environment.
