Keyboard with TrackPoint and enhanced features: The keyboard has the familiar layout of a ThinkPad notebook with function keys that allow you to quickly access system functions such as power-management control.

• The UltraNav, which combines the advantages of the TrackPoint device, center-scrolling button, and a touch pad, is standard.
• ThinkLight^®; easy to view your keyboard in low-light conditions.
• ThinkPad button provides one-button access to critical information. Choose from three different caps for the TrackPoint.
• The TrackPoint with enhanced features includes the Press-to-Select and Release-to-Select function.

  Just tap the TrackPoint to speed icon launches and help reduce keystrokes. The programmable center button enables fast scrolling of Web sites and documents or fast panning across wide spreadsheets. Switch to the innovative magnifying glass feature to enlarge screen views in any application.

Memory: The system has 512 MB of standard memory and can be configured for up to 2 GB of addressable memory. Memory options up to 1 GB DDR SO DIMMs each can be added in the two slots for memory expansion.

To achieve the maximum 2 GB, to which memory can be expanded, replace the 512 MB card with a 1 GB card and add another 1 GB card in the extra slot.

Both 333 MHz and 266 MHz SO DIMM memory can be used in this system. The use of 133 MHz SO DIMM memory is not supported in the ThinkPad T41 systems.

PC card: The Type III slot accommodates either two Type I, two Type II, or one Type III PC card. The slot supports CardBus adapters and a PC card.

Storage: The customer-removable HDD is 40 GB high-speed (5400 rpm).

A second HDD in the Ultrabay Slim expands storage. The second HDD option, requiring an adapter, can be used with all ThinkPad T41 models.

Drives: 16x-10x-24x-8x max CD-RW/DVD combination drive.

Audio: Full-duplex audio on the system board and the integrated microphone allow voice annotation and audio. The system is equipped with audio in/out jacks for stereo speakers, headphone, or external microphone. The system supports Microsoft DirectSound applications.

Video: Digital visual interface for digital displays is supported through the optional ThinkPad Dock II, ThinkPad Mini-Dock, or ThinkPad Port Replicator II.

Infrared (IR): The system has one fast IR transceiver (up to 4 Mbps) for wireless file and data transfer and printing. The ThinkPad T41 notebook is designed for compliance with the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) IR data link specification V1.1.

Other features: The ThinkPad T41 systems include these ports:

• Enhanced parallel
• External display
• Built-in RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors for telephony and LAN connections
• IR
• Microphone
• Headphone
• Two USB 2.0 ports
• S-Video out (TV out)

PS/2^® and serial ports are not included, but both can be obtained through the optional ThinkPad Port Replicator II, ThinkPad Dock II, or ThinkPad Mini-Dock.

The USB ports, which connect external drives and other devices, are supported with Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

The 240-pin connector supports these optional docking solutions:

• ThinkPad Port Replicator for simple port replication and cable management
• ThinkPad Mini-Dock for port replication, additional USB capability, and security
• ThinkPad Dock for a more advanced docking solution

AC adapter: The ac adapter is an ac-to-dc converter that supplies the necessary power to the computer. The ac adapter also charges the battery pack when it is installed in the computer.

Li-Ion battery pack

• A Li-Ion battery pack with six cells is shipped with the system. This same battery is also available as an optional feature.
• A different optional Li-Ion battery pack with three cells fits into the Ultrabay™ Slim.
• A nine-cell Li-Ion optional battery pack is available for even longer hours of operation. Two batteries can be installed to increase battery operating time.
• The battery pack is an internal power source to the computer when the ac adapter is not available. The battery pack is rechargeable and is charged using the ac adapter with the system.
• You can determine how much battery power remains by using the Fuel-Gauge ThinkPad utility program. This displays the percent charge remaining, whether one or two batteries are in the system. This feature is not available on systems running the OS/2^® operating system.
