Thinkpads Forum

My trusty X61 SXGA+ has been gathering a lot of dust as of late, and can't foresee me using it for anything in the next little while... surely someone out there is looking for a small ultraportable with great LCD and resolution, and the traditional ThinkPad form factor and key layout.

I really don't know how much these things are worth nowadays, so I'll suggest 250 USD + shipping.

The specs of the system are:

ThinkPad X61
2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor (T7300)
3GB RAM (2GB + 1GB modules)
160GB Intel X25M-G2 SSD
Middleton BIOS installed
1400x1050 IPS panel installed (BOE Hydis HV121P01-100)
Intel Centrino 6205 a/b/g/n wifi
Bluetooth
Fingerprint reader
2nd mini PCIe slot is present (but no WWAN antennas)
no battery (Australian buyers, I can throw in a non-genuine battery which lasts ~1.5-2 hours)
2 power adapters (can drop one or both if you want to save shipping weight/cost)
UltraBase dock with DVD-RW

This was the 3rd X60 series that I've done the mod to, so it was a relatively easy job for me - the casing all fits fine, the ThinkLight works, and the lid locks shut as per factory.

The LCD panel is dead/stuck pixel free, however there is a small bruise in the screen, and the backlight isn't quite as bright as it used to be. There is no yellowing.

Will take pics tonight when at home.

The laptop is located in Australia but I'm quite happy to ship overseas at actual postage cost. To give you an idea, the postage charges are summarised here (http://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/expr ... ional.html), with shipping costs in AUD.

Here are some pictures. Note the bruise is rather minor, if you can't see it straight away it's near the right hand edge of the panel, where it's a little less bright. Under most circumstances it's very hard to see, the second pic is on the Windows logon screen where it's clearer to make out.

Sold (very quickly!) to a forum member. Thanks all.
