That's an insane deal... in fact, it's too good to be true, methinks.

Eh, that looks like a T4x series, no?

No, the buttons are for the T60. But a basic model, aside from the RAM update and finger reader. Off-warranty is a big minus. But if it's indeed in mint condition as claimed, then it's a fairly good deal I think.

I could tell from the first photo that it is T6x. Both of the screen hinges on a T6x are about 1/2" wide, on t4x, the right-hand hinge is much narrower.

Seems legit enough. Most scammer on craigslist (based on my experience, anyways) usually only copy and paste the specs from somewhere else and never write anything about the condition of the laptop or the reason for selling.

The easiest give away for a craigslist spammer is the location. For some reason there are a huge number that list as either Beijing or Xaiho (or random letters). OR they do the location as the full region, not the individual region "Boston/Cambridge/Brookline" or "North Shore" etc... no one actually from around here would list their location that way.
