[FOUND] X230 - local deadline to beat

#1 Post by ThinkRob » Wed Nov 15, 2017 11:25 pm

I'm interested in doing some coreboot hacking and replacing my T470, so I find myself eyeing the X230.

Now I have a local seller lined up with one for Friday, but I'm willing to call that off if I can get a better deal here.

So without further ado, here's what I need:

* X230
* IPS panel
* decent physical condition (scuffs and wear OK, broken stuff is not)
* tight hinges
* standard US keyboard is fine, I don't mind 6-row
* RAM isn't a deal-breaker, but obviously if you can save me having to upgrade it that's a plus
* I don't care about the drive, provided I get the cover + caddy. I have my own SSD to use
* I don't need an adapter since I have roughly a million power bricks floating around my house, but if you're dying to give one away I'll take it

I can pay via PayPal, USPS money order, or good old cash in a greeting card. Shipping would be to North Carolina.

Now the catch is: I'm meeting a guy on Friday evening locally. If you can get me a good offer before then, I'll postpone with him. So you'd have to get your offer to me before then (obviously shipping can happen later.)

PM me with what you've got and what you want for it. Thanks!

Laptop obtained. Thanks guys! Now to do strange things to the 0xFFFFFFF0 and beyond (which... uh... is kinda backwards...)
