First of all, not all of these had ATi X600. Quite a few were shipped with Intel graphics.

Secondly, the only ones worth owning IMO are the Titanium models with WSXGA+ panels. That combo makes an interesting first-ever-widescreen ThinkPad.

These machines are not an easy find in great shape, but are not easy to sell either. No idea what value they would command nowadays.

Happy hunting.

I have a 2531-76U in my collection - sorry, not for sale. PM 750 1.86G, Ti lid, with ATI X600 graphics and WSXGA+ screen (on the dim side). Picked it up 2/2012 from eBay for $70 Currently running WinXPP SP3 with 2.5GB installed; 2GB usable. It's not too bad, as widescreens go. As George says, I have no idea what these are fetching right now - can't be much as there's better hardware available for what I paid for this years ago, or for just slightly more money.

There's also a 2529-E8U around here too. About the same specs except ATI X300 graphics, 1GB memory and a slightly dimmer screen. $50, just over 2 years ago.

edit: Since I was curious... I have no relationship with any of these eBay sellers:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/331599403907 ($80 or Best Offer; 2529-E9U)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191675589183 ($70; unknown model but has Ti lid)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290998209293 ($140 or Best Offer; four unknown units with Ti lid)

There are a couple of other Z60m machines currently listed on eBay but they are 1280x800 screens or do not have the Titanium lid.

The Z series are such weird beasts. I wish you luck in finding one!
