Sold: Near NEW R51 14"/1.3G/30GB/512MB/DVD/BG/ExcBatt
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 8:46 am
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.
*Pic link removed*
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.)
