Specs:

2 GHz P4
1 Gb SDRAM
40gb HDD
DVD-ROM+CD R/W
14" TFT
ATi Rage Mobility 32 MB
2 x USB 2.0
Ethernet 10/100
2 x Cardbus slots
serial + parallel sockets
internal sound

I will also chuck in:

Belkin wireless 802.11g PC card
Firewire 800 PC card

The machine is of excellent build quality and condition and I can vouch 
for all the components; I had it apart for cleaning since my initial 
purchase in October. It is an ex UniChem 'fleet' machine; I am the 
second owner. It has performed extremely reliably; I have been running 
Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) very successfully - just install and it JFW. 
Battery life is limited. You can get about 1/2 hour of use when 
unplugged from the mains however, new batteries are inexpensive and 
easily available on eBay. The only reason I haven't replaced it is that 
I haven't really needed to take it on the road, yet.

Here is the IBM support page:

The reason for the sale is that I wish to put the money toward the 
purchase of a new(er) Mac laptop and I don't need two. I am asking £350 
for the lot and would prefer a private sale over ebay as it represents 
better value for both parties. If interested, please contact me off list 
or call 07989 660267

Thanks!
