Hello,
I am thinking of buying the ThinkPad 560. I have a few questions
about this machine:
1. Is the display color? (I am assuming it is; want to make sure tho')
2. I know it does not have a built in CD-Rom. But, I can hook up an
external CD-Rom to the parallel port. Any problems with this set up?
Or is there a better alternative?
3. This does not have a built in modem, but, If I buy a PCMCIA
modem card, I should be able to dial anywhere. Correct me if I am wrong.
3.1. How about connecting an external modem (regular PC modem) to the
serial port? Any problems with this setup?
4. This comes with only 8 MB of RAM. Can I add another 16MB, bringing
the total up to 24MB? Any problems with that?
5. How about connecting external speakers?
I have never owned a laptop, and my ignorance may be showing here.
Basically, I would like to use it - while travelling - for everything, I normally
use my desktop for - word processing, presentations, lite programming.
Occasionally use the modem to get e-mail, web etc..., and sometimes use
it for multimedia presentations.
The usage is light. So, I don't need a bleeding edge laptop. I just need an
adequate system. Will this do?
All your comments are welcome.
TIA
Hemanth
