WTB: T60 w/15” SXGA+ FlexView LCD

#1 Post by ranchmom5 » Thu Jan 01, 2009 4:43 pm

I am looking to buy a ThinkPad for my son, who is a college student and in need of a laptop. After careful consideration, and with the help of many helpful and friendly forum members (thanks, again!), and as discussed in the thread Advice please - $700-$800 TP for college student, I have decided to look for a ThinkPad with the following target specifications:



- a T60 with a 15” SXGA+ LCD of the FlexView/IPS type

- still under IBM warranty

- CPU preferably Core 2 Duo (preferred), or alternatively Core Duo w/high Ghz

- GPU either ATI MOBILITY Radeon X1300 (preferred), or alternatively the X1400

- with Windows XP (or with downgrade rights to XP, and with XP T60 R&R media and XP COA)

- battery condition: Need not necessarily be brand-new, but should last for a few hours

-entire laptop in good to mint cosmetic condition

- LCD meeting the following requirements:


- no dead or stuck pixels (the free program Dead Pixel Buddy can be used to test this),
- no dark or light areas,
- no pressure marks,
- no light bleeding from edges,
- no dust or any hair(s) inside the LCD,
- no scratches or any other blemishes on the LCD,
- no ”sparkling effects”.


Since neither my son nor I can probably afford to have this ThinkPad serviced (at our expense), I plan to extend the Lenovo-warranty for another two years; this can be done for $150, but in order to add this extension, the ThinkPad must still be in-warranty.

Ideally, something like this T60 would be perfect; fast, long remaining warranty, MINT condition!

Since my overall budget (incl. the $150 for extending the warranty for another two years) is $700-800, the T60 itself should hopefully be $550-$650. Recently, several 15” FlexView T60’s have been sold both here and on eBay in that price range, so I am confident that it should be possible to find what I am looking for. Besides, I have this forum with the greatest ThinkPad minds around to tap into for help!:wink:

Let me know if you have such a T60 for sale or any thoughts on where I might find one.

Blessings,
Sharon

I'd seriously consider this one -> http://cgi.ebay.com/LENOVO-THINKPAD-T60 ... 0292775049

UPDATE: Sorry, NOT FLEXVIEW (but still a nice machine...)

If she has her heart set on a FlexView, that one just won't do. :?

Does the 14'1 T60 with SXGA LCD come with FlexView too? I thought it's only the 15" T60p that has them!!

According to the eBay add it is there said to be a 14.1" T60 model/type 2623-D6U which according to the ltwbook (see page 147 of 283) indeed is a non-FlexView SXGA+ 14.1" T60. In the sticky LCDs on T60/T60p - types, availability and other discussions it is mentioned that no ThinkPad 14.1" LCD ever came as FlexView. So, Sharon is after a 15" SXGA+ FlexView/IPS T60 - and I hope that she will find it! :)

The T60 linked in the EBay auction does not have a flexview screen. No 14" Thinkpad has a Flexview LCD.

Sorry guys! I was looking at one of the other machines the seller has listed and it was a FlexView - sorry! This one is not a FlexView. (His other one wasn't quit mint.)

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm a T60 FlexView owner and lover.

Use this link to search the whole country. You can then whittle it down from there if you wish.

http://www.searchallcraigs.com/

I have bought several items for unbelievable prices. Make an offer to all of them you are interested in and ask if they will ship and accept Paypal. I have run into people who wouldn't ship and or who got pretty rude about my offer but what the heck. I recently bought a brand new, unopened HP box Ipaq 210 that list for $499 for $135 shipped.

pm me if you need further pointers

There's a seller on ebay cwioutlet listing 2007-W63 for $399. Four have sold in the last 6 days. No info if its under Lenovo warranty - but they are including a 90 day warranty. For a 15" SXGA this seems right in the ballpark. Nice bonus that the cd drive is a dvd burner.

CWI outlet has obviously sold them out...now they have only a 14" with Intel graphics for $375...

They have more. They have about 16 on their website. They only list them one at a time on ebay. I bought one of them yesterday.

I wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions and help during this search for the perfect T60 for my college boy! You are the greatest! :thumbs-UP:

Yes, I found one on craigslist!!!! :banana: It was within my price range, although on the higher end, but it has ALL of my most desired options!! I don't know who is more excited about this fantastic find and end of a lengthy search...but I think it is probably ME! :lol:

Just goes to show you that good things do come to those who wait!

Blessings,
Sharon

@ ranchmom5: congrats!

@ toddreg: I was wrong to suggest that craigslist wasn't a viable solution. Turns out your suggestion was a good one.
