R61 w/Penryn system board and discrete nVidia graphics NVS140m *** (I'm convinced this has the rare 08/08 nVidia chip but since I cannot provide proof, it's selling at pre-08/08 prices) Date of manufacture 08/07 date warrenty started August 2, 2008, expired August 1 2011. Since the updated boards were first used exclusively in mid July, only August 2008 build dates can be 100% certain, but with this warranty date I'd say you can be 99.9%+ certain that this one IS an 08/08 chip.
This system is the best of the best, nearly ***MINT CONDITION*** No keyboard shine, no touchpad shine, only very light signs of use and normal handling.
The barebones system will start at Only $99 and I'll list some popular options/upgrades you can consider if you're so inclined.

If you want a beautiful near mint condition Thinkpad with powerful nVidia graphics that almost certainly has the updated Graphics chip for a fraction of the cost of an 08/08, then this is for you and I'd be glad to build it anyway you want it, either on a budget, or go all out with SSD and loads of ram.
