It meets all of your requirements (Pentium M 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB HD with 7200 RPM, 1400x1050 native resolution, CD-RW/DVD-ROM, Wireless (a,b,g), Gbit NIC, sound, USB, PCMCIA, Bluetooth). When looking for a Thinkpad please examine the exact modell number, because there are quite some models named T40p that are quite different. Mine is of Type 2372-G3G (one of the "G"s stands for german version). -volker
