T43p on eBay for 20$
I'm not sure if I'm going to get this but I found a T43p in rough condition but a good 15" UXGA Flexview for $20.
Is that a good deal for one?

If it is indeed a Flexview UXGA and its quality is good, then yes, it's a bargain.

Re: T43p on eBay for 20$
I am afraid if that is a scam or something because $20 for UXGA display itself is a very solid deal

Re: T43p on eBay for 20$
No, its not, its someone who doesn't know the actual value. There is a picture of it with XP booting with normal colors. The person labeled it by the model number, not T43p.

I'd say: grab it, if you are after a T43p

Re: T43p on eBay for 20$
If the buyer has a 99-100% rating and posts clear pics, it is probably unlikely to be a scam. Could just be a guy who wants to get rid of a bunch of stuff without the patience to sell higher. Anyway, $20 isn't much money lost even if it doesn't happen to come perfect.

T43p $20 Flexview eBay Link
I was thinking about it and I just don't want another laptop right now so I'm putting this up for someone else to have this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ibm-thinkpad-26 ... 2425994327
Just for future reference, I just want to know if you think it is a scam or a bargain.
Also: I don't know or have any connection to this seller.

Re: T43p $20 Flexview eBay Link
Did you notice that shipping was another $16, and no HDD was included, and the battery didn't work, and it didn't come with a charger? Not such a good deal IMO. Would have been an okay deal if it had been a T60p.Thinkpad4by3 wrote:http://www.ebay.com/itm/ibm-thinkpad-26 ... 2425994327

Besides the the condition being relatively unknown it still is a single core machine. The Achilles Heal. IMO

Re: T43p on eBay for 20$
I have a T43p in the collection, the 1600x1200 screen is nice. Don't think anybody wanted this for a main machine, there are better deals for $36 around.

Re: T43p on eBay for 20$
Well that doesn't hold true in Canada. For $40 you can only get something like base spec small form OptiPlex 755 or something. If you add up the cost of a monitor, upgrades, etc. you get the point

Re: T43p on eBay for 20$
A good deal for $36. Screen shows signs of age but is in good condition except for a few small spots. Keyboard is NMB and works well (shiny keys); 2GB memory; has some minor scuffs but cosmetically is in good condition. Only serious defect is that the fan is very noisy and needs replacing.
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions ... erformance
Comparison: T43p (2005) vs T560 (2016).
Screen: T43p has a bigger taller screen (108 sq in vs 104 sq in; 9 in vs 7.6in).
Keyboard: T43p has classic 7 row keyboard; T560 has a 6 row keyboard.
Weight: T43p is 5 lb 7 oz (without DVD); T560 is 5 lb (no DVD).
For writing mathematics documents, the T43p is the clear winner.
Not if the only program you use that causes a measurable delay is not multithreaded. For compiling TeX documents, "compilation times scale nearly linearly with the CPU clock". For example, compiling a 500 page document on a T43p (XP SSD 2.26GHz) takes 19 seconds and 14 seconds on a T450s (Win 7, SSD, i5 5300U, 2.3-2.9GHz). Using a 48-core AMD server with 32 GB of RAM and ultra-fast SCSI disks doesn't help.shawross wrote:Besides the the condition being relatively unknown it still is a single core machine.

Re: T43p on eBay for 20$
How is the screen? Is it yellowed or pinked other than the dots you mentioned?
Well T43p is a great transitioning laptop. It works with Windows NT 4.0 - Windows 10 Creators Update. I mainly use it for the comfortness of its keyboard, screen, build quality, speakers etc. My A30p is even better for those, thus I kept it fully upgraded as well. But T43p comes more handy in terms of more modern stuff.
