Price of your ThinkPad collection NEW

#1 Post by ThinkPad560X » Thu Feb 28, 2013 4:08 am

So out of all the IBM PCs I own, ThinkPads to desktops, im looking for a old retail price archive of what your collection of ThinkPads were brand new and add it up. So far I only found these.

IBM ThinkPads

IBM ThinkPad 600 - US $3,199
IBM ThinkPad 700C - US $4,350
IBM ThinkPad 850 - US $12,000,00
IBM ThinkPad R50 - Ranged from US $1450 - US $3000
IBM ThinkPad 310ED - US $1,499

IBM Desktops

IBM ThinkCentre S50 Ultra Small - US Price: $1,450

If I can find the rest of my PCs new prices, I can add up the total.

IBM Thinkpad 701C 26307TU - US$2,299

Newbie to the classic thinkpad world :wink:

I love the creative design of the butterfly keyboard so I get the 701C. Not a cosmically perfect machine but works just fine. :)

I would be interested, just out of curiosity, about the original price of the ThinkPads I own. I don't know of a source for such pricing, though. Maybe forum member who bought new will add to this list, until we can all fill in our machines and come up with a total, eventually. I have read about how expensive models like the 600 series were when they were first released, but it doesn't really matter to me, as I only had to pay a fraction of the price for mine.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

If memory serves me correctly, which could be quite a stretch, in 1997 the newly released 770 was $7,200 and was considered a good value.

I bought quite a few early Thinkpads new when I was able to dictate what I wanted to my IT Dept. I only remember cost of the Thinkpad 500 which was roughly $1800 new. If I had a 3 1/2" floppy drive, I could check my old emails from the 90's and figure out costs for the 600E, 600X and the T2x units I bought new.
Current: 2 x W520 ET, 3 x X220 i7, T420, X230 i5, T420s, MacbookPro, Dell Venue 11 Pro
Past: IBM5150-8088 500 600E 600X T20 T21 5xT23 X30 3xX31 X32 T40 T42 3xT43 T43p SL510 T60p X60T X60s T61 2xT400 T410si T400s T500-3.06GHz X200 X201 X220i5 X220i7 2xT420s
