Message

I wasn't sure about the build quality of new T60, so I bought both a T43 and T60 to compare. The T43 is now up for sale, it's not even a week old and the battery has never been used. It will come with an extra semi-used 6-cell battery (original is 9-cell) and I can include a Mini-Dock for $70.

Model # 2687D3U
Intel Pentium M 750 1.86 GHz
512 MB RAM DDR II SDRAM - 533 MHz
Memory Specification Compliance PC2-4200
60 GB - 5400 rpm hard drive
DVD±RW / DVD-RAM - plug-in module
14.1" TFT active matrix
Max Resolution 1400 x 1050 ( SXGA+ )
ATI Mobility Radeon X300 - PCI Express x16
Video Memory DDR SDRAM - 64 MB
Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG
Fingerprint reader
9-cell lithium ion battery - 5.9 hour(s)

Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Limited warranty - parts and labor - 3 years
Manufactured in June 2006.

$1250 shipped.

If it makes any difference, it has the coveted NMB keyboard and a Hydis LCD panel.

Only it is still in the sealed IBM box

Could not get a bite at $1299

Best offer was $900 (not happening)

Good luck!

People seem to think that the T43 is no good anymore because the T60 is out.
I saw a T60 this weekend
I'l be RAISING the price on my T43's
Much nicer look and build quality.

I wouldn't quite say that....

I would say the T43 is more consistent in quality control and has most minor issues ironed out, being revisions of the T40 series. Spec-wise it really is almost indentical to a T60 just a few clock cycles short in some areas. Long term value should be about the same too, seeing how prices are similar from used X24 to X30, X32 to X40, T23 to T30, etc etc.

So, given 1300$ wasn't attracting potential buyers here, what would be your price you would think will get the bites ?

Looks like this is not a good place to sell one
