FS/FT: The cleanest Z61m Titanium that I've seen in years, pretty loaded, LOWERED AGAIN
Posted: Sun May 28, 2017 8:35 am
the basics:
ThinkPad Z61m (9450-D6U)
T5500(1.66GHz)
1GB RAM............................................................now 3GB
120GB 5400rpm HD...............................................now 500GB/5400rpm
15.4in 1680x1050 LCD...........................................now 1280x800 (please read below)
128MB ATI Radeon X1400
CDRW/DVDRW
Intel 802.11abg wireless***
Bluetooth/Modem
1Gb Ether
UltraNav
Sec Chip
IEEE 1394
FPR
Camera
6c Li-Ion batt.................................NONE
WinXP Pro COA
No AC adapter included
This is, by far, the cleanest example of a Z series ThinkPad with a Titanium lid that I've seen in many years. While there is some very superficial wear - a few small scratches and a couple of spots that are lighter than the rest of the lid - there is ZERO pitting in the clear coat and the surface is surprisingly uniform to touch. The plastics are in near mint shape, I'd rate them at 9.5 on a 1-10 scale and would give the overall grade of 9 for the machine as a whole.
There is one "flaw" with this system, and that is the fact that the original WSXGA+ LCD has been replaced with a WXGA one at some point in the past. While there's not much wrong with the current panel (one pressure mark, likely TrackPoint-related) a higher-resolution screen would make this collectable ThinkPad really shine.
***Atheros-chipped ThinkPad abgn wireless card (42T0825) will be included with the machine free of charge for those who are interested in upgrading wi-fi capabilities without flashing the modded BIOS.
I might be interested in trading this system for a X60 tablet with SXGA+ LCD, or just the LCD assembly from such a machine, fine details to be discussed...
EDIT 06/11/2017: The price has now been cut to $75 (from $100) plus shipping. Someone please take this cutie off my hands, I don't have the time to indulge in any ThinkPad projects right now...
Pictures can be emailed on request.
