the basics:

ThinkPad T43 (2686-M7U)

P M 760(2.0GHz).............now PM 750 (1.86 Ghz)
512MB RAM....................now 1GB (2x512MB)
80GB 5400rpm HD............now 80GB/4200rpm
15in 1400x1050 LCD
64MB ATI Radeon X300
CDRW/DVDRW...................now CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive
Intel 802.11bg wireless
Modem.........................now Bluetooth/Modem with proper clear plates
1Gb Ethernet
UltraNav
Secure chip
Fingerprint reader
6c Li-Ion batt
WinXP Pro.....................COA and recovery partition intact
72W AC adpter

known imperfections:

- a small piece of plastic broken off by the VGA port, not bad (no damage to the frame) but it's there
- a couple of light grayish spots in the upper RH corner of the otherwise well-kept FlexView LCD, visible on white/very light backgrounds only
- normal wear for a ThinkPad of this era.



This was my wife's desktop replacement for well over a year, until I upgraded her to a SATA-modded T43p this past summer. She likes her machines quiet and cool, and this one fits the bill as much as any ATi-based T43 ever will. Idles happily in the mid-40s (C) until pushed hard.

Not the prettiest, or the most powerful T43 around, but as a daily workhorse it leaves nothing to be desired. This one won't let you down.

No GPU or SouthBridge issues. Guaranteed against DOA and to arrive as described.

Asking $125 shipped within U.S. or $110 + shipping at cost almost anywhere else.

Cash, personal cheque, USPS/Canada Post money order or MoneyBookers accepted. No PreyPal.

PM or email me directly to tataslonATaol.com with any questions/concerns.

Wow.

What an amazing deal. I still remember paying $1450 for a T40p with bluetooth, SXGA+ and a DVDRW in 2004.

I should just have waited these 7 years and picked this up.

Bump. If it were a 14" sxga model, I'd trade for a combo of parts and/or some cash in a heartbeat.
