FS: Thinkpad 570E w/Ultrabase, wireless, LAN, Bluetooth $200
Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 8:17 pm
I have an IBM Thinkpad 570E (2644-6BU) for sale with upgraded RAM and HD. Also with extras: Ultrabase, 802.11G wireless, 10/100 LAN, and Bluetooth. All for $200 shipped within the USA lower 48.
- 13.3" XGA LCD
- Pentium III 500MHz
- 192MB RAM
- IBM 15GB Hard Drive
- 56K Internal Modem
It is in very nice shape, "very good" to "excellent" condition on the top and bottom. LCD is in great shape, no scratches. Keyboard is a little shiny on the most commonly used keys as you might expect from a laptop that has seen daily use for 5yrs. Palmrest has a few slightly shiny spots. There is a crack on the keyboard bezel that I have solvent welded back together, but I'm not sure how strong it is so it could re-crack anytime. It doesn't affect anything though. Hinge is strong and holds the LCD up firmly, but there is a little play, about a 1-2 degree wobble if you shake it while open. Hard drive spindle motor is a little on the loud side, but it's been that way the whole time I've had it so it's stable and reliable. It has enough pep to run XP SP2 with no trouble, although I currently have Vista Ultimate installed just for chuckles. I can reinstall XP Pro SP2 if you prefer, but you will have to supply your own key and activation code. Battery does not hold a significant charge (only about 2mins 30secs).
Comes with:
- Power supply
- Ultrabase with 24X CD-ROM drive and floppy drive.
- D-Link DWL-G650 Atheros Super G 108Mbps 802.11G Wireless Network Card (cardbus)
- 10/100 LiveWire Ethernet Card, still needed because some hotels still don't have wireless!
- Belkin Bluetooth Cardbus card (comes with WIDCOMM software).

I forgot to take pics of the outside covers, but would be happy to if interested.
