This is the low end Z61t model 9440A4U. $375 shipped (UPS Ground) takes it. The warranty expires Dec 7, 2008. Should be able to extend the warranty to 3 years (2 additional years coverage) for around $119. At least thats what I paid to extend the warranty on my T61p a few months ago.

Original specs from IBM site for model 9440A4U: Celeron M 420(1.6GHz), 256MB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HD, 14in 1280x800 LCD, Intel 950, CDRW/DVD, 802.11abg wireless, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, 4c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro.

This model is slightly upgraded with 512MB RAM (2x256MB), 60GB hard drive, DVD-RW Multidrive II, 7-cell battery.

This model is highly upgradeable. The CPU can be upgraded to a Core Duo, the RAM can be upgraded to 3 GB, and the HD can be upgraded with most SATA laptop drives.

Condition of this laptop is very good. The keyboard shows a little shine on some of the keys. The battery has 336 cycles and the Full Capacity is 55.19Wh vs 65.52 original Design Capacity.

The laptop will ship in the original box. The HD has the recovery partition and I just freshly recovered it.

Will go to eBay in a few days if no interest here.

Nice z61t.................

Having just purchased a z60t, I can recommend this laptop as an excellent travel or home unit.

So far it's fun to use......

Just my two cents.........

This is a great machine that can be easily upgraded to Core Solo or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo for very little. (Moving up to a Core CPU adds SpeedStep, reduces heat, increases battery runtime.)

Here's a Core Solo CPU for under $20 --> http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Core-Solo-T13 ... 0306430195

Even that Celeron or upgraded Core Solo CPU blows away many Pentium M machines.

Great price on a super machine. (I have one of these.)
