Goodbye T4x's, hello T60! Now I'm a part of the T6x Club!

#1 Post by CRSO » Mon Aug 27, 2007 11:33 pm

I was searching high and low for a 14" T4x. I have a T43 IPS in great condition but wanted the 14" with SXGA+ because I wanted to save weight and size.

I came across a T60 in a local craigslist ad. I waited for him to get back to me while securing a T42 deal. At the last minute, he agreed to sell it to me before I pulled the trigger on the T42. Thank god for that one...

Man, you are making me jealous. The seller obviously was crazy.

Piano, you have no idea how happy I am... I "was" going to get a new T61 Widescreen... Not anymore.

My wife had to leave because I won't start talking about it. She has no idea about computers and when I explained the deal to her (and I showed her Yak's, same thing pretty much), she said, "whoa".

The guy I got it from did have about 5 laptops including an X61 tablet. His company gives huge discounts with Lenovo and Dell (screw Dell).

Yep, that's the ad. He said he had an a$$load of offers but he sold it to me.

I'm probably the only that would go up to the BX and get it a midnight.

My best friend lives on the same cross street but on the other side of Grand Concourse and both of them said "be careful over there" (referring to each others neighborhood). Neither are actually hot if you have street sense. Did I also mention that I saw someone get shot after I picked it up? lol.
