[SOLD]ThinkPad Helix 36974ak,i7,8GB RAM,256GB SSD,TPP,Korean
Posted: Sun Oct 06, 2013 12:26 pm
I am selling a Korean version of ThinkPad Helix.
I bought it on May this year, and purchased TPP service.
I got three replacements of this machine due to some problems. The fourth one was still defective and had to be turned in for LCD replacement.
As of now the machine is in perfect cosmetic and operational condition. I am selling it because I just don't want this machine anymore after such a frustration.
I'm still a big fan of ThinkPad, but I think it's time for me to bail out of Lenovo laptops and stop living in the memories of IBM.
Spec.
ThinkPad Helix 3697-4AK
CPU: i7
RAM: 8GB DDR3
SSD: 256GB Micron
Intel WLAN with Widi support
Bluetooth 4.0
No NFC
No WWAN
Korean Keyboard
Windows 8 Pro K(You can choose English on first boot and it works perfectly as English version of Windows 8. I also used English myself)
ThinkPad Protection(ADP) : Expires June 16, 2016(I got the replacement on June, and TPP seems to be renewed in the process.) Since TPP is global service, I think you will be able to use it in foreign service centers, but I suggest you check out on local centers before making any decisions.
The machine has 3M Body Protection film attached. Such kind of protection solution is not that common outside Asia, but it has excellent touch and feel, and gives the machine a distinctive gloosy look. I sent it to 3M Korea to have it tailor-made.
The machine is in Perfect Cosmetic and Operational Condition. Very minor signs of usage, if there ever is, is present on the machine, and I have backup disk of recovery partition as well(you do have option to choose english version of Windows at first startup)
I will also include three PSU converter tips that you can use with older 20V "round tip" adapters to charge the Helix. Not Lenovo original, but I checked all three with multimeter and confirmed stable voltage and current on all three of them.
The machine has some display image retention issues. I only turned the device on for a short time for a brief check after I got LCD replacement, so I don't know how bad it is though.
[Payment, shipping, and customs duty]
Item is shipped from Seoul, Korea.
I recieve payment through Paypal. I'm expecting 1800 USD. Offers are welcome.
Buyer is responsible for shipping cost, and can choose the method for shipping. DHL or Fedex recommended. Korean Postal Service is cheap, fast and very reliable for a government postal service, but I recommend not taking chances. My company has Fedex account so if you use Fedex, I might make an arrangement for a little discount(no guarantees, though).
Buyer is also responsible for any work and expenses from the customs should it occur.
Contact me through PM, or via email: **********
I have some photos of the device, and I can take more if you need. I will mail them if you ask.
It's my first time I'm selling on this community, and it's also my first time selling to foreign countries, so there might be some confusions or mistakes from the lack of experience. I apologise for that in advance. But I do have lots of experience purchasing including ones from this community, and I assure you I'll do my best to make a pleasant deal for both you and me. And as you see, my English is good enough to not make simple things difficult from misunderstandings.
