Sounds real nice.....................I would really consider this R52 for my own, but I use Paypal exclusively for sales.

Good luck Mike,
Ron

Thanks Ron, I have never been into buying enough to use P.P. Hopefully that won't deter someone from getting this machine, cosmetically it is a 9. If someone wants more pic's I'll be glad to post them.

I agree Mike. It looks real good.............Maybe if I didn't have another R51 on the way, I might go for it.

Again good luck,
Ron

It looks even better than that, like 9.5.

Mike, the machine looks beautiful!

Verrrry tempting Nice !

Gator: Will be up for Auburn game---

Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing...great looking, nicely upgraded ThinkPad that should give years of painless service to a smart-enough user...

Thanks kwoon, sri and george I did the upgrades almost immediately after purchase and actually did not use this machine very much, other than at home.

price drop $435.

Mike,

I think I'm going to start counting my loose pennies for this one.

Excellent price...

Wow, that's a HUGE price drop! Whoever ends up buying this can sell one of the batteries, the extra HDD, and the extra CPU for at least $50, so the final price would be in the $300 range.

I know, I was already thinking about that...and for those that are interested, don't let Mike's lack of PayPal hold you back...he is truly an excellent seller!! Everything that I have purchased from him has been better than expected...

Thanks Ron and Kwoon and new Papa, this really is a good deal, the extra HD will be imaged with the OS so it can be used as a backup or whatever. I was skeptial at first about purchasing any R series model after having so many t's, but highly recommend an R series to anyone who is looking for a bargain TP. I hate selling this machine, believe me.

Nice price...I love minty R52's, yours looks like it's on top of it's game . Good luck with the sale Kyocera.

And why hasn't this one been sold yet? C'mon people, let's get real: it's very pretty, upgraded, and comes from an extremely trustworthy seller...does everyone around here have a snake in the pocket????

Good one george, sometimes I wish I had one in there to keep me in line with my purchases!

Sent PM. I am thinking of getting this for my Dad. Does it include the stock CD-RW/DVD-RW Combo?

PM responded to, thanks for looking!
