Slim Jim
IBM's NetVista X40 slim desktop computer
By Gisela M. Pedroza
Bring your office into the era of slim desktops with the
NetVista X40, which features an integrated 15-inch Active Matrix
TFT flat-panel display and an IBM Preferred USB keyboard that fits
under the monitor. Its slim design also allows the CD-ROM and
diskette drives to tuck out of sight when not in use. A Pentium III
667MHz chip, 64MB RAM and 20.4GB hard drive make the X40 more than
just a scrappy little system; it's faster than a lot of other
desktops. The X40 also has five USB ports. An integrated 10/100
Ethernet card and two PCI slots round out the specs. Bundled
software includes Windows 2000 Pro and Lotus Notes Client 5.0.
