Price check: ThinkPad x120e

[Erare]

I hope this is the right place to post this.

What is a x120e with a E-350 APU and 2 or maybe 4gb of DDR3 ram worth? harddrive will be about 120GB. 1366x768 LED screen. 65W AC adapter.

I'm not sure about the value, but it's a very nice little laptop. The keyboard is so good that you don't notice that you're using a netbook.

Mine, however, is in pieces (as in almost every piece separated) in a box right now, awaiting the arrival of a new LCD cable. If you're thinking of buying one, I'd suggest that you move the screen through it's full range of motion while it's turned on.

For several months before the cable completely failed, the screen would black out if you attempted to pull it forward -- from any position -- and it would not come back on. I would have to shut it down entirely and reboot, with the lid further open (eventually, ridiculously far open).

It requires quite a teardown to get at that cable, so if it's failing, you should get a fairly decent price reduction, or pass if you're not interested in doing the repair.

I have the laptop, even with an ssd it has become slow, I am running Windows 7. Is there any way to get things faster?

I am still looking to sell it, just curious on what the price is. For the laptop, except for the slow cpu eveytthing else is good.

Depends on the price.

The X120e is still a nice machine for taking on the road with you. Max out the memory with 8Gb. Get the 2x2 Wireless N card. If it also has the Gobi WWAN card you can also use it as a GPS receiver which is a nice feature for a small laptop.

If you are just looking for a computer to keep at home most of the time, you might want to consider something with a bigger screen and resolution (such as T4x0, T5x0 or W5x0 series).

Mine's not blazing fast either. Try an eBay search for completed listings. That will usually get you into the ballpark.

I would say between $70 and $120, depending on buyer and circumstances
