Thinkpads Forum

I need a laptop for my family. Anything around the 600e's specs are just fine, as it will be running linux.

To name a few req's:
-Must be under 250, including shipping.
-Must be fully functional with "minor" wear.
-Battery must hold charge for 1hour or more.
-Must come with A/C adapter.
-Must have DVD-rom optical.

I would prefer a T2x, or a t3x for a little more. Just seeing what's available in this community. Seeing if i can get a few good rec's for reputable honest sellers on ebay and otherwise.

Otherwise, ill just go pick up an dell c6X0 or an older toshiba.
Dont make me do it

Are there any additional requirements such as HD size, total RAM, etc?

Like i said, itll be running Linux. On my current 40GB t42, i'm running linux and using less than 3GB with a full linux install.

To answer your question(s). A 10-20GB hd with 192-256MB RAM would be nice.
Again, i'm not totally unopen to t2x offers. I'd gladly spend a little more on a quality build like the 600e or 600x, with a little more power under the hoo....erm, i mean keyboard

I can probably part with an X20 for $250. Doesn't come with the ultrabay, but comes with a battery (1.5hr+) and AC.
