SOLD! T61p, WUXGA, 08/09...the one I wasn't about to sell

[ajkula66]

As the title states...I *really*, truly had no intention of offering this ThinkPad for sale, ever. But life happens...as my favourite terrorist-turned-university-professor would say...

Likely one of the final T61p units ever built, according to the (expired 3-year) warranty info...

One weird thing is that Lenovo lists this machine as a T61, meanwhile it sports both the FX570M GPU and a WUXGA panel, which were never an option on the base T61 models. The clear plate states "T61p"...so I'm guessing a typo on Lenovo's end here, not the first or the last one when it comes to the website in question.

Physically - as well as functionally - this laptop is in outstanding condition and I'd conservatively rate it at 9 on a 1-10 scale. There is some wear on the lid - not bad at all, but it's there - as well as some fairly light scratches on the bottom, presumably from the laptop being docked and undocked. The hinges are tight, LCD beautiful, plastics exceptionally clean and overall this thing runs like a chased deer.

Although the machine carries a "safe" date, GPU has been tested (read:abused) with countless hours of both Freestone and Furmark and I haven't gotten it to bluescreen - let alone crash - once.

I MUST see this one going to a good home. Seriously.

Needless to say, I've got all the parts to upgrade this fine machine to just about any configuration imaginable. All you have to do is ask nicely and pay promptly...

With that said, I'd much rather sell it in its current configuration.

Now here comes the difficult part... how much should I ask for this thing of beauty?

Given how rarely machines with a "safe" date code - let alone of "p" variety - hit the market, there simply is no "going rate" for such an example...
