T23
The T23 is probably one of the most popular ThinkPad models of all time and can still be found on popular online auction sites today. The availability of spare parts is also still very good 20 years after the end of production (July 2001 - April 2003).
Visually, the T2x series is very reminiscent of the previous 600 series. The keyboard lacks the UltraNav input, but the ThinkLight was introduced instead.
The T23 was the first device in my newly built collection - based on the first ThinkPad I saw growing up. My device has a defective fuse on the mainboard - which means that batteries can only be discharged, but not charged.
