WTB W520

Looking to purchase a W520 with the 1920x1080 screen.

I've got a X230, I thought it had a hardware issue so I bought a W530. Turned out the X230 just needed a BIOS update, now I have 2 thinkpads. I use this for my work-from-home machines, I'm thinking I should keep my W530, but only because we have a team member on the west coast and we skype with him daily in our team meetings using my laptop. But then I realized pretty much anybody could use their laptop to do that as well.

Anyway the specs on my machine are pretty much the same as the one linked a few posts up, except it has an optically drive instead of a second hard drive. (I think it may have a faster processor, and bigger SSD, but I'll have to double check) I probably would be willing to sell mine if the price is right, and I can find someone else to do the video conferencing. (before I started video conferencing, he was just phoning it in, so it probably isn't that big a deal) anyway let me know if a W530 would meet your requirements, and what price your looking for.

It's always helpful to give the TYPE from the label on the bottom, looks like: TYPE 2438-2JU
Using the MTM link at the top of this page, you can then see the specs the way it came ex-factory.

Can I bump this post?

[rkawakami]

Looks like you just did . Bumps are limited to once every 3 days, ideally. If there has been no other posts to the thread after the 72 hours, then you should see a "Bump" button. Push it and your last post will be updated with the current time and the 72 hour interval will start once again.

Can't find the dang bump button so here's to me still looking!!!
