Description
I'm getting rid of the last of my 4:3 ThinkPads.
Sad, I know.
But it's not sad for you. You, oh lucky forum reader, can get what many consider one of the best ThinkPads ever made: a well-specc'd ThinkPad T61. Best of all? It's got an Intel GPU, so you don't have to worry about the infamous NVIDIA GPU issues that plague most SXGA+ T61s.
Other neat features? It's had the Middleton BIOS mod applied to it, so it takes any WLAN/WWAN card you throw at it (hence why it's got a 6200 in it now) and supports the full SATA II port speed (3Gbit/s). Oh, yeah, despite looking like the T60, the T61 has a plastic lid cover over a magnesium frame (i.e. a roll-cage.) This makes the lid strong. Really strong. Like, you-can-stand-on-it strong. (But you shouldn't...) This is awesome if you travel a lot, and it's saved this particular notebook from harm on at least one occasion.
There is one flaw however: the hinges have a bit of play to them. This is pretty common in T61s, but yeah, it's there. That's not to say that they're loose -- they'll certainly hold the screen open during use just fine -- just that there is about 1/2" of travel before the hinge itself moves. This is probable due to fatigue of the in-lid hinge bindings, but since it never really bothered me that much I didn't ever replace the hinges.
Price
Asking $225. Price is variable depending on what extras you want (although I'd really prefer to sell with the dock and adapter as I don't need either for anything else...) Upgrades are also available, so PM if you have something in mind.
Shipping
Shipping is FREE within the continental United States. Shipping will be via USPS.
If you want insurance, want to use a different carrier, want it sent via next-day shipping, etc. no problem. Just PM me and we'll set something up. Additional shipping options will be provided at cost.
