SOLD: Almost NEW R51. I'd call it new but it has a few light scuffs on the top cover because the person that shipped it to me placed the ac adapter on top of the lid when they shipped it - even though I specifically asked them to wrap the adapter separately! (This isn't the first time that this has happened to me.)

Anyway, it's perfect. Only 5 cycles on the original battery and comes with the original R51 documentation from IBM. It looks unused and probably was. I performed three substantial upgrades, see below.

More large pix --> *Link removed*

14" R51's are the same width and depth as T41/T42's but are thicker and weigh 3/4 lb. more (this one weighs 5.75 lbs.) This R51 has the integrated Intel GPU, so there is no worry about a loose ATI GPU chipset. R51's have the APS hard drive protection system like T41/T42's.

If you want a perfect operating and near perfect cosmetic R51, this one will do it.

Reduced to $339 insured & delivered in the U.S. or $320 for local D.C. pickup (w/cash). (Price reflects the condition and upgrades.)

Product: ThinkPad R51 2887-W23

I just bought a T40 from Ed, and it was a beauty. Great guy to deal with!
