Ibm ThinkPad T43 Laptop Computer Overview

Below are some pictures of each side of the ibm thinkpad t43 battery that displays what ports we have on all side of the notebook computer.  Please note that I have the optional 9-cell extended life battery installed so the notebook battery sticks out, the average 6-cell battery is flushed with the back of the T43.
On the right side of the T43 we have the optical drive and what’s called the D-SUB port (can be used to carry analogue video signals to a monitor).  With this configuration the optical drive comes in the form of a CD-RW/DVD-RW drive.  This bay is actually totally modular and is called the UltraBay by IBM.  You can use the UltraBay to put in an extra ibm thinkpad r60 battery ,battery, a some other type of optical drive or even a sled that contains a secondary hard drive that is achievable to boot to.  Also of note is the hard drive for the T43 is at the front right side and you simply remove a screw from the bottom of the laptop computer and then slide out the tray it’s stored in to swap the hard drive out if you wish.
On the left side of the ibm thinkpad z60t battery we have a majority of our ports.  Two USB 2.0 ports are on the back right side.  In Person I’d like to see more than just two ports, but for a thin and light this is acceptable, although not best.  We also make an S-Video output port available.  The modem toshiba pa3356u-2brs battery and Ethernet jacks reside next to the S-Video port.  Headphone out and microphone in ports are sandwiched between the Ethernet port and fan vent.  On the front right side we have a PC card slot (PCMCIA slot) and ExpressCard slot.  It’s nice to have the ExpressCard slot as that will be the standardized of the future for allowing accessory expansion on notebooks.  However, for right now there are very few ExpressCard compatible accessories available.
On the back of the T43 you can see the battery (sticking out in this case because it’s an extended life
toshiba pa3285u-1brs battery), power jack input and parallel port.  The parallel port is a legacy port hangover and is completely unnecessary for the consumer, but there are some corporate customers that still require this.
On the front of the toshiba portege m100 battery the only thing we find are the two latches to hold the screen down (two latches work much better than one for maintaining the lid down and tightly closed by the way) and an IrDA port for wireless infrared communication with other devices or laptops.
