Thinkpads Forum

I have for sale a Thinkpad Z61t 9440-A23. It is a newer version that does not have the IBM logo anywhere on it. I will only have this available to sell for a limited time, because the person that sold it to me has agreed to let me return it for a refund since I wasn't expecting it to have a scratch on the LCD. I'll probably need to have a decision by Wednesday. However, I think I got a pretty good deal on it and figured someone else might not have a problem with a tiny scratch on the LCD at all and would like it at this price.

This laptop has cosmetic issues. It seems like a brand new laptop that was never used, but sustained some damage somewhere during the supply process - as though someone may have dropped something on it when new. It has NO usage-related wear anywhere, it is very tight, no squeaks and rattles, no shine on the keyboard, but there is a scratch on the END and ENTER keys, scratches on the bottom right LCD bezel, scratches and small dent on the right speaker/grille area, small scratch on the lid, and one small approx. 1/2" long scratch on the LCD about 2" from the right side and near center vertically. It is very subtle and razor-thin, barely visible when on. The LCD is overall flawless aside from the scratch. Nice, bright, no dead or stuck pixels nor any other screen defects.

Here is a pic of the scratch unlit:

Unfortunately, there is NO WARRANTY.
NO CHARGER INCLUDED, but you can get those around $13 shipped.
The battery is in fantastic shape, it seems like it was brand new when I got it. First use date is 11/2008 and last time I checked it only had 4 charge cycles on it, and they weren't full discharge/charge cycles either. I think it counts every time I plugged in the AC adapter to do a BIOS update or update to Vista SP1. It should have less than 10 by the time you receive it.

I need to get $426 out of this laptop which is what I paid. I won't be making a penny on it. If I don't get any interest in it by Wednesday, it goes back to the seller.

Last chance on this really nice Z61t with practically brand new battery. Anyone? Anyone?

Just saw it now. Sending PM... Hope it's not too late.
