If weight is no issue, then the 770 is the hardiest of these machines. I
think all will physically take a DVD,
but you should know that if the DVD is to view movies, DVD playback will not
be very good on a 233Mhz system
without some form of extra hardware acceleration, so either make sure the
specific submodel you buy is
appropriately equipped, or make sure you budget for an aftermarket
accelerator (e.g., a Margi card for
the cardbus slot).

Subject: Buying Thinkpad
Hello Thinkpad users, I am in need of some information. First of all I have
been looking at IBM Thinkpad 600's , 390E's & 770's. All used but in
excellent working order. All are in the price range of $400.00 to $500.00
price range. All are 233 meghz systems and at least 64 meg memory.
My use for this machine is for my realestate sales agent job. Heavier weight
is not a negative.
I need to have a dvd in my laptop for my job activites. I am not sure which
of these laptops will
take a dvd. I like the 14.1 large tft lcd size. Anyone have any feedback on
these three models
listed,good & bad. Thanks Janice djmusic_at_inreach.com
