I have a thinkpad w700ds in perfect condition. It was a demo model and used very lightly. I just got it this week, thinking I'd replace my other w700 with my dream laptop that I had always wanted. Unfortunately, the video card only supports two displays and I couldn't use my other 24" LCD with the laptop and the pop out screen, nor could I figure out how to rotate the pop out screen in linux. I couldn't configure the digitizer properly in linux either. I know someone out there could make much better use of this than I could, so I'm hoping someone out there can give this guy a better life.

I'm asking $1400.

The specs are as follows:

Model 2752-E5U
T9400(2.53GHz)
6GB RAM
2x160GB 7200RPM Hard Drives
17in 1920x1200+10.6in 1280x800 LCD
512MB nVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M
DVD RW
Intel 802.11agn
Bluetooth
Modem
1Gb Ethernet
UltraNav
Sec Chip
Finger print reader
Camera
Digitizer
Turbo Mem (according to the Lenovo site, I don't know how to verify it's there)
Win 7 Ultimate 64bit (seems legit, but the sticker on the bottom is for Win Vista Business)

Also includes one charger.

For what it's worth, you might check previous posts or start a new thread on how to use an external monitor with a DS model. I'd guess there's a way to make the video card work, but it could be tricky doing so.

Another method that'd likely work would be using an external video card via the ViDock. Lots of material on this board about that route.

'course, this depends upon whether you'd really want to keep your W700DS or not...

It's been quiet here, so I put it up on ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... 666wt_1398

You can get it $75 cheaper if you contact me through this site though
