Thanks, removed number. Is that so bad? What can worst happen?

... is there an error in the eBay listing, or has the HDD been swapped to a slower (5400 rpm) version? According to the original IBM specifications for a 2373-HSG (use the "Quick Path"), it came with a 60 GB 7200 rpm drive:

Product: ThinkPad T42p 2373-HSG [change]
Operating system: All [change]

Original description: P M 735, 1GB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HDD, 15 UXGA(1600x1200) TFT LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL T2, CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner, Intel 802.11b/g wireless(MPCI), Bluetooth/Modem(CDC), 1Gb Ethernet(LOM), Secure Chip, 6 cell Li-Ion battery, WinXP Pro

Note that it has a 15" UXGA Flexview/IPS display!! :-)

I contacted the seller as to whether the hard drive had been swapped out, the response was...

" no the hdd is original comes with the laptop, i found the spec from ibm website, so i didn't check."

Mmm.. :roll:

That laptop was to expensive i consider that T42p should not cost more than £350-£400 at this moment.

As well he was abrupt in his answers and not looking to negotiate. I might need to wait or spend more on T61p if 4:3 version becomes available in UK.
