IBM Workpad

#1 Post by thinkpadgeek91 » Mon Oct 23, 2017 11:08 pm

I came across this ad on Craigslist for $10 for a IBM WorkPad and Palm M105. I was interested in the IBM due to my Thinkpad collecting and I called the guy and met him at his house after I got off work. I found everything the way it is in the picture and it even has the original box. The Workpad and Palm work fine after a little cleaning of the battery contacts. I am very impressed with the Workpad and it even has a backlight! I did not know IBM rebranded Palms but this is a sweet little device for $10. Tomorrow I'm picking up a working T43p for $20 as well.

Though it is not a 'true' IBM product, those were still pretyy neat. For 10$, what a deal. You got to get some pics of the T43p. Nice find!
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Turns out the seller listed wrong. Had no idea what he had. He googled the processor and it came up with T43p and that is what he posted a link too. Still not a bad find for $20. Thinkpad R52 1.86Ghz Pentium M, 1.5Gb RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HD. Had a very old version of Linux Mint on it and I updated it to 18.2 tonight.
