FS: x60 with good 8c battery!
Posted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:08 pm
For those not familiar with the x60, these are great 12" laptops which are slightly larger than a netbook, but still outperform any Atom netbook by a significant margin. Here is a review of the model: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2828
It has the typical scratches, a small dent in the battery, and the screen has minor marks from the keyboard. I would rate it a 6.5/10 in cosmetics, but the system is in great working order.
X60, Type: 1709-H6U
T7200(2GHz),
1GB RAM, ---------------> Now 1.5GB
120GB 5400rpm HD, -----> Now 200gb Toshiba drive
12.1in 1024x768 LCD,
Intel 950,
Intel 802.11abg wireless,
Bluetooth/Modem,
Verizon WWAN,
1Gb Ethernet,
Secure chip,
IEEE 1394,
Fingerprint reader,
8c Li-Ion batt, ----------> In "green" Less than 10 cycles!
65 watt power adapter.
I do not have the original recovery partition since the stock hard drive failed. It will ship with Ubuntu for this reason, but it does have the original XP COA intact, so someone could load it if they had the media. A few months ago I cleaned the heat sink and applied arctic silver thermal paste so this does not have the overheating issues like some other x60 machines.
I feel that $175 is a fair price since it does have an excellent battery and does have the 2ghz 64bit CPU. I will take some pictures next week and send them upon request.
