I have gave up on trying to sell my W700 Funny how people here are hunting them out.

Just curious - is this a correct model?

They're showing in stock, for $76.50 +S/H.

HTH

Thank you, I was looking for it for quite some time now (unsuccessfully) and decided to go for eBay.

Done, thank you

My little friend got sick

Follow up questions - I see from HMM that the part number I need is 42X3804. Is it the only compatible part or some other would do as well? Does it make sense to purchase these parts on eBay (haven't been there in a while)? Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks for heads up, ajkula66, for $50 - 60 bucks it doesn't make much sense to sell. Fix it then :) If you are handy enough, you can just replace the fan itself for less than $10.- (check eBay for "Lenovo X61s fan"). I've seen plenty of warnings saying that people on eBay aren't really conscious ab...

I have this amazing X61s (7668 CTO) that was working as my home server for the past few years. Recently the main fan started failing - first it started making weird noises and ultimately machine stopped booting due to "Fan error". I am not particularly attached to it, but it's nice to have a smallis...

Resource hog or not - isn't it a little strange that I cannot properly use the laptop (with color sensor and all) not because it's underpowered, but because it's not properly ventilated? :) Haven't touched the paste yet, probably should. Then again, the problem is not overheating itself, it's the in...

Hi all. My W701 is overheating. I am not doing anything too taxing - about ten tabs in Chrome (GMail, Facebook, some blogs), Photoshop CS 6, Dropbox, maybe a few other background things. Exhaust vents are going so hot I can barely hold my hand there. Usually, if I don't slow down with use the system...

Hi FWIW google won't me see your pictures. My browser is iceweasel 3.5.16, which is is debian's fork of firefox. That's part of their do no evil strategy I suppose, but not so good if you want people to see your pictures. Chuck Thanks for letting me know. Even though I don't believe Google is after...

Forum rules require you to post asking price.
Best of luck with your sale!

Thanks, fixed

Hi, all. I am selling my W701 4323CTO, lightly used (was home desktop replacement machine). My job has issued me a W520 and now brand spanking new MBP with retina screen, so I really have no space on my desk anymore. Asking price $1500 or hit me with your best offer in PM. I was replacing stock hard...

Good luck with the sale.

Sorry, fixed.

Hi, all. I am selling my W701 4323CTO, lightly used (was home desktop replacement machine) this being a primary reason. Asking $2100 or hit me with your best offer in PM. Order Date: 04/22/10 Specs are as follows: Intel Core i7 Q820 1.73MHz base CPU 8GB RAM NVIDIA Quadro FX 2800M with 1GB RAM 17" 19...

I have spoken with Lenovo's sales on their chat line and over the phone - sales rep Adam was really helpful and, as many other Lenovo employees, a long time owner of ThinkPad line laptops. According to his words the W520 model is indeed the same size as T520, but slightly lighter and can accommodate...

This is not what the tabook says. Hence my question above.

One more thing I've noticed while trying to configure T520 system on Lenovo's site - it looks like a lot of options that are available (i7 QM CPUs for example) that are not in the tabook. What gives?

You can consider the T520 with quad-core; you can get 4 RAM slots on that for 4x4GB. Otherwise, you're out for astronomically pricey 2x8GB modules. MacBook Pros come with two slots regardless. That said, you'll get a 135W adapter stock on the T520. Just want to reconfirm if I understood you correct...

Hi all, will need to purchase a laptop for work within the next 2 - 3 weeks. My primary activities would include heavy database (MS SQL, mySQL) and .NET development (VS2010, VS2008) plus a few virtual machines to run test web server instances. These are the heaviest of tasks I could think of. I'd li...

If your question is still relevant: http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf - page 79 and down.

Colonel O'Neill wrote:T520 will have dual and quad Sandy Bridge options. T420/T420s are still dual, AFAIK.

If I understand the niche for 420s - it shouldn't have quad core option, but it would be reasonable to expect HD/HD+ screens.

Colonel O'Neill wrote:The data's in tabook now.

Comtraya! Found it!

Not sure what the end price would be (including warranty, etc.) but it looks like new 13" Macbook Pro with Core i7 will turn out cheaper than 420s with Core i5...

Colonel O'Neill wrote:The 30 hours is a 9-cell standard + 9-cell slice on the T420. T420s is 10 hours with a 6-cell standard + Ultrabay battery.

Tempting, but I'd still go for 420s since it's a lot lighter. And, again, no data in tabook about 's' model.

I keep seeing 420 and 520 models, but has anything surfaced in regards to 420s (aside from unrealistic claims of working for 30 hours on a single charge)?

@Crunch

and look at the price of that thing too

There's two slots on the Edge 13 with a max of 4GB of memory. It doesn't seem like they'd do it differently on the bigger versions, but who knows. That's exactly what I was told by sales rep over the phone, he was looking at 13" Edge specs. However my hope is that 14" and 15" models will sport an u...

Quick question - what's the maximum RAM this laptop supports? I am thinking of buying a 2GB Edge 14" version and upgrading it to something like 4GB or even 8GB if hardware allows. UPDATE: Just called their sales, they don't seem to have all the info yet, as these (14" and 15") models are really new....
