Everything looks dead standard with the exception of a strange philips triple mode wireless card, but that is in a user accessable miniPCI slot so could be replaced if need be (it's an option on the R40 anyway) although if you fitted something else you may have to sacrifice one of the two installed antennas.
Not quite, you will find that IBM do bios locking on certain wireless cards and certain laptops including the R40. You can read here for some more info on this page http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/thinkpad/wireless.html
It certainly makes me think twice about buying IBM, but apart from that they are cracking machines.
