Thinkpads Forum

Alright, I know this is sacrilegious putting a non-Thinkpad up for sale, but this machine lives up to Thinkpad quality (as I'm sure nc2400 owners can testify to). It is probably a direct comparison to a Z60m and actually feels nicer and more solid than my Z61t.

Specifications:
15.4" WSXGA+ (1680x1050) LCD - Matte
Intel Pentium M 1.86GHz CPU - Dothan
1GB DDR2 RAM (2x512)
160GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
ATI Radeon X600 128MB GPU
DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
Intel 2200BG Wireless
Bluetooth
Broadcoam NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Brand new Genuine HP 8-cell battery
SD Card Reader
Ports: 3x USB2, Firewire, VGA, Serial, S-Video Out, Audio In/Out, Ethernet, Modem, PCMCIA
Trackpad + Trackpoint
Installed with Windows XP Pro SP3 (COA on bottom)

Cosmetically I'd say its a 9.4/10.0 with no obvious problems (light scratching on the cover). It comes with a 3rd party power adapter.

Price is $350 (from $400) shipped to CONUS. International shipping available at extra cost. Payment by paypal.

Feel free to ask any questions!

My nw8240 is very similar to this example (slightly more workstation oriented than the nc8230 though) and it is a marvellous machine. Having owned a Z60m, I would say that these HP machines are very comparable to Z60m machines in terms of size and build quality. A good one to look at if you're curious about seeing what other manufacturers had to offer while the T43 was still brand new

Thanks for the endorsement.

Price drop down to $375.

Price drop to $350. Wont be going any lower anytime soon, but I'm open to offers.

I personally use a 6910p from HP (which is this ones big newer brother) and it is a marvelous unit. HP's business line is rock solid I must say. The build quality is on par but better than a Z61/Z60.

Thanks for the endorsement!

Is WSXGA+ 1680 x 1050 ?
In any case it sounds like a nice machine.

Thanks for catching my typo!

I'd be interested in trading for a Z60t with a 14.1" WXGA screen (or HP equivalent). Long story short the person this machine was intended for found the screen too high resolution.
