the basics:
ThinkPad T43 2686-M7U
Original description:
P M 760(2.0GHz)................now PM 750 (1.86 Ghz)
512MB RAM..................now 1GB (2x512MB)
80GB 5400rpm HD.............NONE (caddy and cover ARE included)
15in 1400x1050 LCD
64MB ATI Radeon X300
CDRW/DVDRW..................now CD-RW/DVD-rom combo
Intel 802.11bg wireless
Modem.......................now Bluetooth/Modem combo card with proper clear plates
1Gb Ethernet
UltraNav
Secure chip
Fingerprint reader
6c Li-Ion batt
WinXP Pro...............COA intact
No AC adapter
Now that my SATA-modded T43p project is fully completed (courtesy of RealBlackStuff...
) this fine ThinkPad is looking for a new home...
The unit in question was my wife's desktop replacement for quite some time now, and was modded to accommodate her request for a machine powerful enough, but quiet and cool-running. I'd say that given the limitations of the ATi-based T43 platform the task has been accomplished.
While generally a pretty nice example of this classic ThinkPad range, it's not perfect. Here's what I have to report:
a) A small piece of plastic chipped off the upper left corner frame, no damage to the chassis, not bad but it's there.
b) A couple of extremely light gray specs in the upper RH corner of an otherwise very pretty FlexView panel, visible on extremely light/bright backgrounds only if you look for them, and one whitish mark that appears to be a scratch on the inside of the screen (between the LCD layers) - none of these imperfections are distracting and they will not come out in the pictures.
c) Normal wear/tear/shine for a ThinkPad of this era.
Wanna trade? If you have something that I need I'm all for it - let's save a few bucks in this lou$y economy...
Feel free to PM or email me directly to tataslonATaol.com with any questions/concerns.
