The machine is in excellent condition, no scratches/spots/dead pixels on the bright LCD.
Looks almost new! I'd easily give it at least a 9 on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is best!
Only thing missing: the tiny lock-switch for the optical drive.

This machine is still under warranty till December 18, 2014!

Sounds like a great machine. Can I assume the harddrive bay is open and ready for installing a second hdd?

Posted: **Wed Jul 30, 2014 4:05 pm**

No, the main hard drive bay already has a 500GB HD drive in it for storage purposes.
MiniPCIe mSATA drive in the WWAN-slot, storage drive in the HD-slot.
I thought I mentioned that...

Aw man, if only it had the Nvidia GPU. Nice price though and it looks to be in excellent condition. Whoever buys this should be very happy.

Can the T420 take 3rd gen iX cpus?

Posted: **Mon Sep 22, 2014 1:59 pm**

No idea, haven't seen any info about such an option anywhere...

No.

There is a hack which enables one to put in a *real* QC CPU from the Sandy Bridge era, though.

Oh... That doesn't really help with the graphics, but thanks anyway. Unfortunately, I need HD4000 as an absolute minimum.

Upped the RAM to 4GB.
Price reduced to $450 + shipping.

How's the battery life with the standard battery? I am interested...

Posted: **Tue Oct 21, 2014 2:11 pm**

A little over 5 hours.

Posted: **Tue Oct 21, 2014 2:26 pm**

Hmmm...it would fit the bill. Operating system on a SSD plus an extra build in HDD for storage. Internal DVD player.
The only negative point would be weight but we cannot have it all.

If anybody would like this machine with different specs (e.g. without mSATA-SSD and HDD), talk to me!
