ThinkPad G40 combines the affordability of a desktop PC with the design and portability of a ThinkPad notebook. Designed for the user who requires a full-featured machine with occasional mobility, the ThinkPad G40 is ideally suited for small- to medium-sized businesses, schools and universities, and government agencies.The ThinkPad G40 addresses notebook users who rely more on AC power than battery power, often migrating from one AC outlet to the next. Some analysts estimate this usage pattern at up to 25 percent of notebooks in the enterprise.Until now, customers have had to choose between power and portability. The ThinkPad G series offers the option of being portable without sacrificing the features desktop users require. It's perfect, for example, for teachers who need to move their PC from classroom to home now and then, or for an accountant or insurance adjuster who occasionally travels for on-site audits.
