WTB: Thinkpad T42
Posted: Thu Dec 21, 2006 2:32 am
I am going to rejoin the Thinkpad world after selling my T23 about a year ago and picking up a 1GHz Powerbook G4 (Which I love and will keep until it dies).
So I am selling 2 other powerbooks and my Compaq Armada M300 (loaded). The powerbooks are on e-bay right now and I know I am getting atleast $550 for them. I am going to list my Armada on e-bay (unless someone here wants it). Here's the specs
Armada M300
PIII 600MHz
320MB RAM (Maxed)
40GB HD
MEU Unit w/ floppy and CD-ROM
Win2K License
Compaq WL-110 Wifi card (it's an Orinico gold card, rebadged)
AC Adapter
Stick battery
Would sell it for $150 shipped in CONUS.
Anyway I should have around $650 - $700 to spend on a Thinkpad.
I would love a T42p. 512MB of RAM and smallish HD are OK as I already have RAM and a 120GB HD ready to go for it.
So heres what I want to know. Keeping the RAM and HD down, what is the biggest baddest T42 I can pick up in my budget (including shipping costs)?
Would prefer to buy from here, but can go the e-bay route as necessary.
Thanks in advance!
I can't wait to pick up a new machine! I have been thinking about this for months and finally decided the time and my current requirements are just right and to go for it.
P.S. - Can't pay right now. I can pay in about a week as soon as my e-bay auction ends. I listed it for 10 days and still have 8 more days to go. Hopefully someone will hit buy it now and save the agony.
