SOLD!A31, 15" SXGA+ FlexView nice-imperfect-inexpensive SOLD
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 8:04 am
the basics:
ThinkPad A31 2652-Q3U
Original description:
P4-M 2.0GHz
256MB RAM
40GB HDD................NONE (caddy and cover ARE included)
15.0 SXGA+(1400x1050) TFT LCD
16x10x24x/8x CD-RW/DVD-ROM
Modem(MPCI)
Ethernet(CDC)
Li-Ion battery.............in green
WinXP Pro........COA intact
No AC adapter
Apart from integrated wireless (which was reserved for Q5U) this was a top-end A31 back in the days...now, those days are long since gone, but this oldie is in pretty amazing shape when it comes to physical condition, showing minor wear on the lid only. This unit features a 32MB version of ATi 7500 GPU, unlike the most A31s that left the factory with 16MB of VRAM. I've tested it against all usual GPU ailments and the machine passes with flying colours.
known imperfections:
- One of the RAM slots is iffy. It will work fine with certain DIMMs, and prevent machine from fully booting with others. Works with anything and everything as long as the old "paper trick" is applied but that type of a band-aid solution must be disclosed on my part.
- Although the screen is still very bright and free of dead pixels/pressure marks/other usual IPS-related garbage, there is slight yellowing in the corners. Most people would likely not notice it unless they had another FlexView to compare it with. That being said, the colour reproduction, viewing angles and contrast are still outstanding.
If you need an inexpensive desktop replacement, this one might be worth looking into. Way too pretty and well-performing to part out in my not-so-modest opinion.
Asking $50 + shipping at cost to most locations worldwide.
