Thinkpads Forum

In very good condition and fully functional, original IBM machine running Windows XP Professional. Used in home and rarely traveled. I can’t think of any other way to safeguard our personal information so I will have to remove the hard drive. Just pop in your own drive with an OS installed and you’ll be good to go. $80 plus shipping cost. Details below:

Model 1953D9U, 1.66 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM. No issues or parts ever replaced. Includes two AC adapters, one may need the connector tip repaired or replaced.

I think you can clear the HDDs by using something called DBAN (Darik's Boot & Nuke). Put it to a floppy or CD (probably only CD), boot it, and it wipes any attached DDs.

Here are the original factory specs of this model if anyone is interested

T2300E(1.66GHz), 512MB RAM, 60GB 5400rpm HD, 14.1in 1024x768 LCD, Intel 950, CDRW/DVD, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 6c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro

I'd be very interested if it was a 15", but I can tell you these are very reliable machines and if anyone needs a harddrive I can provide one for $10, or I have some 80gb for $15. This machine would be a good budget laptop and could easily be upgraded to 2 or 3gb of ram. This would run Vista or even windows seven very nicely.

Good luck with your sale.

Thank you. I appreciate the input.
