Hello, I want to buy a T430 23426QU （$699）.Is there an internal DVD-ROM? How long is the warranty? Thank you!

Yes, there is a DVD-rom. I am not sure the warranty for the DVD independently, but the whole laptop is one year.

PC3-8500 is supported by the T400. The biggest "gotcha" to look out for is if you are running a 32-bit OS. Only 3gb would be supported by a 32-bit windows OS.

Hi,This is a pretty good machine with no obvious shortcoming that I could find (I have this one for a few weeks). The best thing is this is one of the best buy for this price range. I will be cautious about the DVD drive thought - it seems somwhat flimsy./Abhijit

This unit did not install as a DVD-RW on my Dell Dimension 4700C or 8300 running XP SP3, it installed as a ROM device. It did install as advertised on my ThinkPad T40 running Vista but would not format DVD+RW discs. I think this product requires DVD-RAM discs which are more expensive and not as universally supported as other DVD formats. I have a question in to the supplier, no response at this time. I will probably end up sending the unit back.

My i3847-6924BK has a TSSTcorp (I believe to stand for Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology) DVD+-RW SJ-216DB optical drive installed.

You can check on their website, but I haven't found anything yet. It sounds like it'll be better to root the unit and add roms to improve performance. I'm still looking into that though. There's not a lot of info about this company or their products anywhere.

Mine died after 3 months. And I loved that thing. Returned it to Amazon, and discovered that while Amazon will accept returns, they charged me nearly $100 to do it. I'm livid about both, and still looking for a non-Toshiba replacement....

I might not have the correct terminology. I originally ordered the Toshiba Samsung TS-L632 Internal DVD±RW LightScribe DVD±R DL IDE/PATA Slim Drive Burner for my Laptop but it was the wrong DVD ROM. It was IDE/PATA and I needed SATA. I returned this one. I then ordered the Toshiba 8x Sata Internal Slimline Dvd Burner Emergency Eject Hole Limited Quantities . The one I have is TS-L633M. This one came with LightScribe but was never mentioned in the description. When I did the review I might've done the wrong DVD ROM on the wrong item. I apologize if I did. I have the Toshiba 8x Sata Internal Slimline Dvd Burner Emergency Eject Hole Limited Quantities. It is a great DVD ROM. I hope I was of some help. I might not have the correct terminology.

I has no issue installing is Lenovo X230. I expect it should work just fine in T430 also.

Thanks, Larry. For a month I've been teetering on the brink of getting the Oppo 980 or 981. The street price of, maybe $170 would be acceptable. I also have an A-35, with a backup A-30 in the closet in its box.I've been having a lot of fun ordering HD DVD's from Europe. When the supply of HD DVD's dries up, if I had an Oppo, the Region Code, and NTSC/PAL wouldn't matter and I could switch to import SD DVD's.Anything to mess with censorship and marketing plans.

Hey there! I'm in the same predicament also? I just purchased the 32m3000 series for the "cheap" price of $649 when it was available at other non competitor retailers for $550-575. (I wanted the 4 year protection plan the cheaper guys didn't offer). It's a gift for father so it's not opened yet. The only thing the store assistant said was that one model's from 2007 and the other is 2008. He didn't want to lie to me about tech knowledge he didn't know about.

Olga,I purchased my Samsung laptop, against my better judgement, 13 months ago because I needed a laptop in a hurry. 6 months after my purchase, the hard drive had to be replaced and now the computer requires a new mother board. So don't make the same mistake I made and do NOT buy this model laptop. Samsung makes TVs but NOT laptops.Regards, Boris

As T. Hearn said Google is free so you'll never be charged for new os updates. Also I have had my T300 for about 3 weeks now and have already gotten two updates Asus is taking care of the transformer series.

Doesn't really matter, this Sony is a piece of crap, mine died twice (screen replaced, then motherboard a few months later) in ten months, then Sony refused to extend the warranty which I requested since there was only two months (of 1 yr) left. The laptop died again before it was 18 (previous typo 10) months old so I was screwed, now ewaste, I am a former Sony customer, will not buy any of their products.
