    They are a pretty good place, but just to make one thing clear, they are refurbished, not new.

    I bought my T42 from MacUniverse on ebay. It arrived quickly and it was as described. It doesn't look like it has a warranty. You might want to ask what the return policy before buying in case there is something is wrong. Good Luck.






    I was robbed by a sweet little old lady on a motorized cart and I didn't even see it coming.

    Which T42 laptop did you buy from us. Contact me at [email protected] and i'll find out the warranty situation for your ibm laptop purchase. Usually IBM's comes with 3 years warranty if it's brand new. If it's refurbished, it's 1 year. Some new units also come with 1 year warranty. i would appreciate your response. have a nice day.
