I am actually looking for a cheap TP in Europe, but they are very hard to come by, especially the English ones.
I would actually love to get a T43p 2668-H3U for under $2400 all inclusive.
Thanks,
mikera

Assuming no surprise (it's ebay after all), it's a good price.

first, it is an express model..
second, is it an ibm warranty extension..? that particular express model is a one year warranty model..
third, i am selling a better one thats in perfect condition for about the same price..

and THIS ones display is perfect..
can you say that about the other one..?
it is listed on my web site..

[edit]
just took a look at the ebay "auction" for this thinkpad is a bit misleading..
it APPEARS that this is a refurbished model..
Model Name: 2378EZU is the express model number..
Part Number: 2378XXF is the refurb model number..
you really need to be very careful on ebay..

$1866 here. I thought about buying for the UXGA screen, but decided on a 14 in SXGA screen to save weight.

Although un oiseau dans la main....

1.) it is "Recertified Product", which means not brand new.
2.) You can upgrade to 2ghz + 9 cell battery with this model by $2000 if you are lucky. $2299 is little bit over price nowaday.
3 .) the extend 3 warranty is " Mack Computer International Extended Warranty." which is suck.
