Thinkpads Forum

I just got a new W520 and would like to trade my W500 for a ThinkPad with a smaller form factor. I have attached the specs of the W500 below. It is a perfect condition and also has a brand new battery. I have other accessories that I might want to trade like a docking station.

The warranty apparently expired only last week Expiration date: 2011-09-09
But more important: as per forum rules you need to give a price for that machine.
Being unknown here, some references (Heat, eBay etc.) wouldn't go amiss either...

You are correct, it is just out of warranty, but I have not had a single problem with the unit and it looks in perfect shape and operates without any problems. Anyway, as per the rules of the forum, I would take $850.00 for the W500, or as stated earlier, a trade for a smaller ThinkPad of comparable value.

It looks like a 15.4" WSXGA+ LCD.

Does it have the webcam option?

How small a computer are you looking for - is 14" widescreen small enough?

Yes it has a webcam. The 14" would be OK, depending on the specs of the unit. Send me what you are thinking about.
