SOLD: Nicely equipped T43 in near perfect condition still under on-site warranty.

Only the keyboard shows slight wear. The rest of the machine is perfect, it looks new. The LCD is bright with no dead pixels. This machine has great spec's. The original IBM 3 year on-site warranty expires on February 8, 2009.

*Pic link removed*

This machine does not come with the fingerprint reader but fully supports the upgrade by just swapping the palm rest assembly. (The motherboard and ultrabay drive cage are the correct parts to accept the fingerprint palm rest. I tested it and it worked and fit perfectly.)

Note: The model number/serial number sticker is missing from the bottom of the machine. However, both are clearly available via the BIOS and all the Lenovo utilities that read the number from the BIOS, including the Lenovo warranty lookup web page.

Reduced to $409 including delivery in the U.S. ($385 in person, local transaction.) PayPal, USPS money order or cash accepted. Full spec.'s with mod.'s below.

can you check the s/n to see if it is covered in MExico for IWS and is the COA for XP affixed to the base?

It is, however on-site warranty may not be available in Mexico, they'll substitute it for depot repair.

XP Pro COA is on the bottom, see pix.

If you can propose a secure payment and shipping method, I will ship it to you - or maybe you're planning a U.S. visit or have a friend coming to visit you?

I'm thinking about it. I have a T30 (using now) that has a fan problem and a T40 with backlight problem and I'm thinking of your T43 as my main work machine with the T30 as a backup (assuming I can fix the fan issue). We are actually planning a trip to the US to stock up this fall. Let me look into docking stations and ultrabay options and I'll get back to you.

I may be a newb but I've hung around for over a year and know you have a sterling reputation, so it is being frugal and ensuring this will work for me.

I'd love to get this fine machine shipped to someone by Tuesday, since I have holiday plans.

I've reduced the price to $409 delivered in the U.S. Perhaps that will help :)

Mint, fast, on-site warranty, T43 with no chance of loose GPU (it has Intel integrated video) pick it up!
