WTB: T420
WTB: T420
Just looking for a decent T420 to use out on my patio.
Yes, there are many on ebay but of course one doesn't really know the quality or veracity of a listing. I feel I will get honest offers here.
Do not need anything special or upgraded. (Recently I was given a T42 for free and had fun putting in 2GB ram, used 2.0 cpu, an ssd and a used oem battery. But as stated here often, the T42 is not great for web browsing.)
Thank you,

Re: WTB: T420
I have one in pretty nice shape, there's some wear on the touchpad though. MTM is 4236-NUU. Do you want the factory image installed, and do you need an AC adapter?

Re: WTB: T420
Sounds good so far. Touchpad wear will probably not be an issue for me because I have never used a laptop before. That is, I'll probably use a mouse. I don't know the benefit of having "the factory image". I'm guessing it may help make use of Lenovo apps. I have a Win 7 OEM Home Prem disk. Yes I will need an AC adapter unless the one with my T42 would work. It's FRU P/N 08k8204.
Will be looking to get a 9 cell battery at some point.
Thanks for your quick response.

Re: WTB: T420
I have a handful of Panasonic 9 cells I could install, should give you a 2-3 hour boost to runtime over the 6 cells (all the 6 cells are either Sanyo or LG - I would give you an LG). Or I could just send both a 6 and a 9 cell if you'd prefer the flexibility to have both. The factory Windows 7 Pro with SP1 image I could clean up while leaving the more useful utilities (e.g. Power Manager, fingerprint software) and nixing junk (e.g. Norton, the bloaty Lenovo Apps).
