Hey guys, I'm after a Thinkpad for the animal shelter my mom volunteers for. Doesn't have to be anything special, doesn't need a CD or DVD burner or crazy powerful hardware. I'd prefer something from the T40 line if possible, but a T30 would be fine as well. If it's a DDR1 system that doesn't have any memory that would be even better since I have some DDR1 laying around. The battery isn't all that important. 45 minutes of runtime is fine since the system will more than likely be sitting on a desk. The only requirement is a legit XP COA must be on the system. Home or Pro, either one will work. Built in wireless would be nice too. Let me know what you have.

As one option, I can offer you a nice R51 with 15" XGA LCD, Pentium M 1.6GHz, 9000 ATI video, CDRW/DVD, internal b/g wifi, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD, AC adapter and Windows XP Pro COA w/recovery partition intact. I'd like $150 plus shipping.
It's a nice, solid Pentium M machine (similar to a T41). It looks good but does have some wear and light scuffs/scratches. I can take/send you pictures, if interested. I'm traveling and won't be able to ship it for a week, so there's no hurry on my end.

You can't beat a nice big 15 inch XGA screen for a desktop laptop. Cruise these forums and see what besides the above lies within your price range. Seems to be a decent offer to me.

The 2 I got from him look to be in very nice shape, though I haven't used them yet.
