The Stunner was originally presented in this thread:

And - as I've stated in one of my postings - given my own exceptionally poor record when it comes to keeping mint items in the same condition, this fabulous machine is now offered for sale to the members of this magnificent forum.


The basics:


ThinkPad T43p (2668-WY5)

Based on 2668-CTO:
P M 780(2.26GHz)
1GB RAM.........................now 2GB
80GB 7200rpm HD.............now Lenovo-issued Samsung 128GB SSD
15in 1600x1200 LCD
128MB ATI FireGL V3200
CDRW/DVD
802.11abg wireless(MPCI)
Modem(CDC)
1Gb Ethernet(LOM)
UltraNav
Secure Chip
6c Li-Ion batt
WinXP Pro COA
Modded BIOS

Given the uniqueness of the ThinkPad in question, there are some special rules regarding its sale:

1) This laptop *absolutely must* go to the best home imaginable. Therefore, I reserve the right to sell it to whom I want to and under the conditions that I deem fit. "First come first served" may or may not apply to this particular sale.

2) If I know you, you can expect some level of flexibility on my end.

3) If I don't know you, feel free to present your case on why this machine should end up in your household. Listen I will, and that's a promise.

If you want to add Bluetooth, I'll include the card and you can install it yourself...

Need more pictures? Available by email to serious prospective buyers...

The biggest pain, obviously, is the very process of pricing any item this unusual. The last time anyone around here saw a T43p in this shape was years ago when they were still changing hands for $1K+...


PM or email me directly to tataslonATaol.com with any questions/concerns.

While I'm happy that this piece of ThinkPad history has been sold - for WAY above my asking price here - I'm honestly disappointed that it wasn't grabbed by a TPF member.

C'est la vie...
