[bootleg2go]

I'm new to this forum and just learned of it. I'm a moderator over at www.notebookreview.com and since I'm a big thinkpad person, I'll be around here alot as well.

Anyhow I've got an R40 (2897-GAU) for sale and here are the details

Here is the link to the IBM spec sheet.

I've upgraded it to 1GB of RAM from the original 256MB and it also includes a second hard drive adapter for the Ultrabay valued at $45

Quick rundown of features:

1.5 Ghz Pentium M processor (equal in speed to a 2.5 Ghz Pentium 4)
1GB ram
15" (1400x1050) SVGA display(no dead or hot pixels)
bluetooth & 802.11b wireless built-in.
60GB Hard drive (w/ office Professional 2003 installed and activated with a valid license)
1394/firewire port, 2-USB ports and parallel port.
Very long battery life (6.2 hours)

Notebook is in perfect mint condition (not a single scratch or mark of any kind) and includes the original box, documentation and everything as new. It also includes the IBM restore disks. it's original purchase date is 2/25/04, so it still has 7 months on it's 1 year warranty remaining.
The reason for selling is that I'm a techno-hound and I've just upgraded to a T42 thinkpad.
Asking Price is $1500. I bought it for $1640 and I've upgraded from 256MB to 1GB of ram and am including the drive adapter as well.
If you 1GB is too much memory for you, I can sell the notebook just as I bought it with 256MB or ram for $1350(of course the HDD adapter is included for this price)
I have a very good Ebay selling history ~+300 (bootleg2go) and payment can be made by money order, cashier's check or PayPal. If payment is with PayPal please add 1.5% to total to cover 1/2 of paypal fees. Shipping on paypal purchase is to paypal confirmed addresses only(to protect both the myself and the creditcard owner).
Shipping & insurance charges are $25 and includes 2nd day fedx to anywhere in the continental US. I cannot sell to anyone outside of the United States.
Feel free to contact me at either bootleg2go@yahoo.com or jackoneill@gmail.com

Thanks
Jack

I am also offering a hard drive upgrade for this notebook. It normally comes with a 60GB 4200rpm hard drive, for an additional $75 I will upgrade the hard drive with a 60GB 7200 rpm hitachi drive for added performance.
