Price Check: Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds [UK]
Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 4:44 am
Hello!
Can anybody help to value a ThinkPad W700ds? The item is located in the UK and is a UK model with the corresponding keyboard layout and charger.
The overall condition is good but not 'mint'. There is one minor area of 'damage' to one of the grill pillars and has the usual marks to the rubberised texture on the lid, as we've all come to expect with ThinkPads. Don't get me wrong, though, this machine has *not* had a hard life - I'll supply photographs if any interest is shown or they are needed for a valuation.
The specification includes Intel Core2 Extreme QX9300, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M, twin display (17" 1920x1200 and 10.6" 768x1280), 4GB RAM, dual disk (RAID) 160 GB, WACOM digitiser (pen included), Huey PRO colorimeter and the usual express card/bluetooth/etc.
I have (genuine) Lenovo reinstallation media for this in Windows XP 64 bit, Windows Vista and Windows 7 flavours. All media would be included but the laptop would be wiped and prepared with a Windows Vista installation to match the COA on the laptop. I only ordered the other OS to make life simple if I ever wanted to change - But no license is included for XP or 7 - This would be an exercise for any future buyer.
The item is not boxed but I would include a carry bag (hard to find one that comfortably fits this size machine without wheels!) and a lap tray.
I have owned the machine for the best part of a year and a half but got hardly any use out of it - I'd originally wanted a small, high resolution ThinkPad but when I saw the W700ds I fell in love and picked it up. Sadly, though, it does not get enough use and it is such a shame to leave this sat in it's case, so I've come around to the idea of selling it.
This thread is only a feeler to gauge what the item is worth. If it turns out there is no interest or the valuation is too low then I'll probably keep it - I'd imagine a dual screen laptop will be quite the novelty/rarity in years to come! - but I'm certainly in a open mind to sell...
So, could somebody help with what they think this would be worth? Thank you!
