I too just picked up a nice X21 (700MHz PIII, 384MB RAM, Win2K COA sticker, Ultrabase with CD-ROM and floppy), for $135US. I bought it to replace my 570E, which was too bulky, heavy and slow. I am running my institution's copy of XP Pro on it and it works like a champ. I had three X20's and two X22's before, so it's my 6th X2* Thinkpad!

And you haven't sold off the ultrabase yet?

Not yet, even though I think it's the ugliest thing in the world. I am keeping it so that it will be easier to sell the laptop in the future.

Did you sell your X23's ultrabase?

I don't understand (again (again)).. Are the ultrabays no good then? Or just ugly? I thought they were useful for extra hardrives and stuff?

I quite like mine. I've never seen anything like leaving drives and whatnot behind on the docking station.

My X23 came with a dock. When I realized that it would fit not only my X23 but my X30 as well, I decided it was a beter option to hang on to it than to try to find an external CD-ROM drive that would boot them.

My new thinkpad.. X21.
