Thinkpads Forum

I have an absolutely mint R52 with warranty until October 2008 for sale. Plastics are perfect, no dead pixels, looks brand new! System restore partition in place, LED plastic film still on!

It was a Celeron model that I upgraded to Dothan 1.6GHz. I will include the original Celeron 1.3GHz CPU in the unlikely event you need to call IBM for a system board replacement in the next 2 years! Yes, Arctic Silver was used on the CPU.

I'd need $500 to part with it, plus $20 for insured shipping in the U.S. The machine is very well packed and ready to go! The warranty is worth $100+!

Sounds great to me. I'm enjoying my R51 almost more than my T40! An R52 must be excellent too..............

Good luck,
Ron

My R52 is great! upgraded to pentium 1.6 (actually the celeron was not that bad) extra 512M ram total 760, and a 7200 rpm HD, runs smooth and cool.

YGPM!

Thanks for the supporting comments, guys, I agree the R52 is sweet and solid. I'm selling because I went crazy and picked up two R52's a few days apart. Way too many ThinkPads (if that's possible).

There is considerable interest lately on this one...sale pending...

How much for the system with just the celeron?

Wow, I posted this a week ago, but received 3 inquiries within a few hours today. Sales are funny. Anyway, this is sold (to forum member), I just received payment. Thank you all.
