Son's heading off to college & is looking for a computer in excellent condition w/ UXGA Flexview display. Prefer minimum one year left on warranty.
Thanks, Swedevb

T60p's w/UXGA are quite rare these days... but there is one shortly coming up on eBay -
this one - has almost
one year warranty left, but the seller is brand new at eBay... feedback score = 0
Alternatively, there is
this one - with a bit more than
one year warranty left. NB: Ask seller(s) about the (in)famous "dust spec"
inside the LCD? See e.g.
this thread or
Serach this forum for "dust lcd".
Expect to pay $1100-1200 for an used UXGA T60p, see e.g.
this recently ended auction.

all three of my former IPS-UXGA-panel-equipped thinkpads fell victim to the dust issue. it's a nuisance if it's your only working screen.
if you can't find an IPS T60p then i would consider buying a proper external display, an advanced mini dock, and either a T60p or T61p to drive the display over DVI. comparing a 200 nit 500:1 6-bit 45% NTSC gamut IPS notebook display to a 320 nit 1200:1 8-bit 92% NTSC gamut IPS or PVA display is seriously apples and oranges. as a professional graphic and industrial designer, i'll take an external display any day.
good luck!
