bump

How about some pics? What is the overall condition of each of these...especially given the prices?

By the way, I understand that you bumped because you lowered your prices, but please limit the bumps to 1 every 3 days (72 hours).

Reduced...

T23 with DVD, $315.

T23 w/o DVD, $300.

A wireless PC card does not a wifi laptop make. Putting "Wifi T23" as the title made it sound like built-in, which is worth a lot more money than a PC card solution.

If it had the antennas and MPCI card I'd buy it.

I have a Atheros minipci card for it, but no antennas. But, wifi is still wifi.. PC or mini-

Well?...

Integrated wifi (with antennas) is a far more elegant solution, and is the reason for its higher value.

Personally, I don't like PC cards sticking out the sides of my laptops, which is why I look for internal wifi.

Again, if it had antennas and MPCI (fully internal solution) I'd go for it, but not PC cards. The other thing wiht internal, most add-on internals lack indicator lights andhave antennas under the keyboard instead of in the display bezel. The under-the-keyboard antennas get vastly inferior range than the built-ins in the display housing.

Overall condition is very good. No camera, no pix.

Asia, you got spoiled by your X41, this is a -23 and had no indicators

I'm spoiled by internal wireless, have been since my Toshiba Portege 4000 in 2002. Since then, I've used laptops with both internal and PC card wifi.

I know both very well, and for me its worth having internal, with PC card only acceptable on VERY cheap machines. I have a 9-year-old Toshiba Tecra 8000 that is worth all of perhaps $30, and for that PC card is the only solution. For a T23, they were offered with internal wireless and without, and so I insist on internal.

The point isn't me, however, but the heading of this thread, whcih is simply "Wifi T23". That implies internal, which to most buyers is a very real and important difference. At your asking price, I'd buy one in a heartbeat with internal, and am not interested at all with PC card.

I know that you don't have a camera, but I really suggest borrowing one and trying to get some pics. Given the prices that you are asking for these T23s, one is really going to want to see what they look like. Everyone has their own interpretation of what "very good" means.

For the record, I am not trying to knock your sale...just trying to give you some honest feedback.
