A good friend would like me to find him a P4 thinkpad on a budget. I have been watching decent R51s go for $250-$350 on Ebay, so I told him we should be able to find one for $300, give or take.

Desired specs:

R50 series
15" XGA
DVD/CDRW
1GB RAM if poss. or 1 stick 512
Drive size -flexible if it saves money
Battery condition- not important
Warranty - can't afford one with Warranty
Condition: good screen, good function, otherwise cosmetic details are not critical to save money.

Thanks,
Steve

I know that it is a little more, but you could end up with the same price, by selling the extras: Mike's R52

Yep, I considered, but it's a 14" and I'd have to lay out my own money and sell things to get it back. Shipping, etc. etc.

I'm doing my friend a favor to buy it and that's enough !

Cheers,
Steve
