WTS: IBM Thinkpad t43p for sale!

#1 Post by holr » Thu Dec 08, 2005 11:38 am

Hi,
Looking to sell an IBM t43p system, UC3F8UK. Would appreciate those interested to be from the UK only, due to the prohibitive expense, I dont want to ship / sell outside the UK.

Please go here for full specs: http://www.toyecomputer.co.uk/products. ... odCat_ID=1

Brief summary:
2 gig centrino, 1 gig ram, 128mb v3200, 60 gig 7200rpm hard disk, 15" 1600x1200 screen, fingerprint scanner, you know the rest. Points of note are: British keyboard layout (genuine UK system), british 3 pin ac adapter, and I will throw in my ultrabay slim battery too ( replaces the dvd burner). Brand new condition, about four weeks old - still have the remainder of the three year worldwide warranty available.

Reason for sale:
This was a free upgrade by ibm because I had many problems with my old t41p. This is a great system, but I dont like the larger 15" footprint - its too big to be comfortable carting around campus for me. If anyone has a half decent sony vaio s5 series I would consider a swap :-)

According to the current prices at toyecomputer.co.uk , this thing is worth about £2,044.49. I would ask around the £1500 mark. If you can't quite make this, make me an offer! You never know!

Anyone interested, pm me, or for a quicker response, write to holread @ glam.ac.uk (my university email).

A couple of piccies:

I have a T41p and I'm having many problems too...

How did you make IBM/Lenovo to get you a free upgrade like this? :)

it wasnt easy, just had to keep on at ibm's client satisfaction team (the people you talk to after you have had extraordinary problems) until they let in. It was a struggle for about two months :-)

Told them that I was unhappy with buying a notebook worth 1000's dollars only to have it working for a short period of time, and that a replacement a year later wasn't any good, given all the grief I had. I paid to have a working notebook in the beginning, not in a years time!

btw, system still for sale, dropped price to £1300 if there are any offers near this I may take it..

can't link to the photos..

it would help if you were to relate the UK model to a US model..
also, list the specs or link to the lenovo web page..
