T43

As I post this, there are 8 available. I purchased one of these a while back and was very happy with it. X300 graphics, SXGA+, and the one I received even had some warranty left on it too. It works out to about $350 after tax and shipping. There were two or three small marks on the outside cover, but nothing that affected looks or performance while using it. The company was a pleasure to work with.

There are other TPs as well, in addition to a few Dell machines.

These are "Grade C" scratch 'n' dent clear-outs. Just make sure your expectations are realistic.

I got a scratched and dented ThinkPad right here and I really like it. It's only ugly if I close the lid, and I can get some "touch up paint" (Testors enamel. look for it at any hobby shop.) at the local hardware store.

Of course, the original seller posted pictures of the scratches and dent, so I knew what I was getting...This site has no close up pictures...be carefull...

Agreed. The one I had was probably 8-8.5 out of 10, which was fine with me. They're very picky about cosmetics, so any marks count towards their grading, no matter how small. They guarantee them for 15 days (Not a long time, I know) and they were more than willing to send me a new battery when I thought mine was bad. It turned out to be operator error, but they were very responsive.

Theoretically, not a bad deal...but I can't sell my top-model 14" T43p with 15 months warranty left for $525, and it's got to be in far better shape, not to mention far more loaded than the linked unit...so it may not be that great of a deal... :?:

What do I know anymore??? :?
