The T43 is the last model in the T4x series and was produced from February 2005 to April 2007. Like previous models in the series, it was produced in 14.1" and 15" - my model has the larger display.

Back in vocational school, when many of my classmates had this model, I always smiled a little at the somewhat chunkier devices. Compared to the smaller model, however, this has some advantages - for example, the absence of the typical crack in the palm rest.
