T42 15" SXGA+ fully loaded, dock, batts, warrty - PICS

[fbrdphreak]

For sale is my beloved T42. I purchased it back in August 2004 through my school for $2K It came well loaded at the time, but is fully loaded now

Original Specs 2373-NC1
*15" SXGA+ FlexView 1400x1050
*1.7GHz Pentium M (Dothan 400MHz FSB)
*512MB RAM
*40GB 5400rpm
*64MB Radeon 9600
*a/b/g I WiFi card
*CDRW/DVDROM
*6-cell battery
*3 year warranty with ThinkPad Protection (expires August 2007)

Upgraded Specs
*2.0GHz Pentium M (can put original CPU in if preferred)
*2GB DDR333 RAM
*100GB 7200rpm Seagate
*8x DVDRW
*6 & 9 cell battery
*Ultrabay battery
*Ultrabay PATA HDD adapter
*Mini-Dock with full port replication & DVI (see http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-45932)

The machine is in great condition, with no problems at all. The screen is immaculate, a great example of the FlexView displays. It has a fresh install of Windows XP Professional, installed using the machine's Windows COA & serial. I will include a Windows install disc created for this machine. Accordingly, the system no longer has the recovery partition. You can purchase a set of recovery discs from Lenovo that will restore this.

The mini dock works great, includes its own power adapter, and has DVI output which I loved.

The batteries are in good working condition, but not full capacity.

It has warranty until August 2007, I will be sure to transfer it to the new owner.

Please let me know of any questions and I will answer them. I am reformatting the machnine as we speak so it will be ready to go, fully updated, in a couple days. I will ship it and accessories via Fedex ground.

I am asking $800 + actual shipping costs. Given the quality of this machine, the large number of very useful accessories, and the standing warranty coverage, I feel this is a fair price. I am open to offers, but low ballers will be ignored.

You whited out the serial on the bottom in one picture, but it's in view on the next picture..

Still for sale!

[duhmask]

is the processor a Pentium M 755?

would you consider selling it separately? i'm interested

[fbrdphreak]

It is a 755, but needs to either stay in this system or the other laptop which has the T42's original P-M 735. Thanks

[duhmask]

was just trying my luck, prices in ebay for the 755 are crazy.

thanks

That's a lot of upgrades! Get a barebone off ebay and you can build another T42 with the original parts!

I had to return this T42 because
the case was cracked and
the FlexView was not immaculate.
What a pity!

I am very sorry to hear this, as I would believe that this T42 was superb (judging from the specifications and its description). At the time posted, I was also interested in it... but you were too fast!

Could you perhaps expand a little on why the FlexView/IPS display was not "immaculate", as claimed by the seller? Any specific reason?

Thanks in advance... I am trying to learn how to read advertisements here!

Best regards,

Johan

He already did, here.
