This machine will be available later on this week. I'm just putting this out there to see if there is any interest in it. Let me know.

Original description:
Pentium M 1.6GHz CPU
256MB RAM - Upgraded to 1GB RAM
60GB 4200rpm HDD
15" SXGA+(1400x1050) TFT LCD Flexview
32MB ATI Radeon 9000
24x24x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive
Intel 802.11b/g wireless(MPCI)
Modem(CDC)
1Gb Ethernet(LOM)
UltraNav
Secure Chip
IEEE 1394
6 cell Li-Ion battery
Windows XP Professional Installed and COA License Sticker

Li Ion battery holds charge of around 2+ hours. Includes AC adapter. No IBM warranty left. The LCD is in excellent condition with no white spots, scuffs, or scratches, nice and bright. Overall this laptop is in good cosmetic condition. I'd say at least a 9 out of 10.

This is a good chance to own a Flexview machine at a reasonable price. IMHO, SXGA+ Flexview is the best resolution (1400x1050) for everyday work and graphics viewing/processing. If you've never owned one of these fine R51's, it is simply one of the best Thinkpads ever made. It's basically a T42 with attitude :).

I'll be asking $430 shipped to the US or Canada. I will also ship to anywhere in the world at actual cost. Contact me for payment options.

Note: The above review, while decent does have one inaccuracy. The total RAM installable in the R51 is 2GB, not 1.28GB.
