One thing to pay attention to is screen resolution.  The T series
comes with either 1024x768 or 1400x1050.  1024x768 is pretty low for
me and I would have vastly preferred 1400x1050 (though I recognize
that everybody has their own preferences).  But when I was purchasing
my refurbed T60, the listing didn't mention screen resolution and I
forgot to check into it.  As it turns out, all that they were offering
at the time was 1024x768, so it was a moot point.  Still, I would have
preferred to be aware.

My roundabout point---Lenovo will provide the model type (e.g., mine
is 2373-DE5) in the listing.  Write that down and then search Lenovo's
site to make sure that you know the exact specs of the machine you're
looking at.
