IBM warranty, including accidental damage warranty (cost me extra) through 7/14/2007 - long enough for you to run the machine through its paces and make sure there are no flaws that I don't know about.

1.8Ghz Centrino (Dothan)
14.1" high-resolution LCD display (1400x1050 pixels)
Screen is nice and bright, no dings or bad pixels.
1.5GB RAM
ATI FireGL T2 video card w/ 128MB of dedicated RAM (Vista Aero glass capable)
60GB 7200RPM hard drive
CD burner/DVD reader drive
b/g wifi wireless
Bluetooth
Gigabit ethernet
Modem
Keyboard manufactured in Thailand, which means it has the original good Thinkpad touch to it. (But it is USA style keyboard)

Included accessories:
Original AC adapter
Original box and packaging
Port Replicator II (with DVI)
Windows XP Professional COA and recovery disks
6-cell battery that still gives hours of battery life (36.98Wh left, 104 cycles as of 6/5/2007)
Bonus: I'll include an extra ultrabay hard drive adapter so you can put in a second drive in place of the CD drive.

This is a very solid, well kept Thinkpad - I always kept it in a sleeve when carrying it, and made sure there was a piece of paper over the keyboard when it was closed to prevent the trackpoint from leaving marks on the screen. There are no dead/stuck pixels. You run little risk on this one - if anything goes wrong while under warranty, IBM/Lenovo will take care of it, even for accidental damage that you do yourself.

The motherboard on this machine went bad last year and was replaced by IBM under warranty. It was upgraded to the latest board revision that they say solves some problems in earlier Thinkpads. It runs 100% perfectly now - no problems at all. I'm posting this using it right now.

I have 100% positive feedback (71) on ebay under userid jeffbl:

Asking $845 shipped CONUS, but open to offers or possibly a trade for a smaller Thinkpad.

Still available! (bump)

Looking very closely at the screen, there is a slightly brighter white spot where the trackpoint meets the screen, despite my careful insertion of a sheet of paper. It is typically not noticeable, unless you look for it on a white background, but I don't want anyone to have any surprises when it arrives.

Any offers?

I really like the machine and will be in the market for another computer in a few weeks or so, but not quite sure if I want to spend $800 on a computer right now, I'm really trying to save as much as I can (but working part time retail, about a quarter of my paycheck goes toward gas). I would really like to have a T42p (trying to stay away from the T43 because of the fan the BIOS hard drive issue), but one of those may simply be out of my budget.

Sold it locally, thread can be locked if that is the custom. Thanks!
