good price for a t41?

[andpgud]

Hi there. I can have a T41 for 90 dollars. Is it a good price?

That's a reasonable amount for a working T41 with a HDD, AC adapter and good battery, as long as it does not have any BGA failure problems with the GPU or Southbridge. Be aware that just because those parts are working OK today, doesn't mean they won't fail tomorrow.

I've been using a T40p for quite some time and am happy with it's size, build quality and performance. That being said I don't ask this machine to do much and I also have plenty of spare parts to keep it going far into the future. If this will be your only computer you should be aware that they are getting up in age and spares and upgrades are more expensive than the same parts for a more modern machine. Talking mostly about ram and hdd. If this is your first laptop I would advise you to look for something newer, T60 comes to mind although they are not without their issues. The newer machine offers more availability with upgrades and they would be less costly. Final thought, Would I trade my T40p for a T60? No, it serves it's purpose quite well.
