I was fully aware of the specs and I did ask about the screen resolution, which does bother me too much.
Spec wise it is better than the IBM 600E I had, although not by much. It runs XP very well, a lot better than the 600E did. Once I get LM9 installed it will run better too.
Beggers cant be choosers.

If the CD drive is a problem, why can't you do a net install? If you also suggest that the hardware is an improvement on the Thinkpad, then use Windows to create any boot media you need and try again.
I wouldn't give up at this stage.
Can I just ask though, why do you need a laptop? Is a desktop machine out of the question?
