SOLD: IBM ThinkPad T43 with great spec.'s -> 2.0GHz Pnetium M Dothan 533MHz BUS, 14.1" 1400 x 1050 SXGA+ LCD, ATI X300, new 100GB 5400rpm drive, combo CD burner/DVD reader, 1GB RAM, Bluetooth, Intel ABG wifi, fingerprint reader, 18 months IBM warranty remaining!

*Image removed*

The mobo was just replaced last month by IBM service so the machine runs perfectly. The RAM is now upgraded to 1GB (2 x 512MB) and the hard drive is upgraded to 100GB (no 2010 error). The DVD burner was downgraded with a combo CD burner/DVD reader.

Cosmetics are very good with little overall wear, but not perfect, about 8.5 of 10. The LCD has several scuff marks from the keyboard/mouse buttons (not visible in pix). You really do not notice them unless the display is off and you hold it at an angle to the light. There are also two small light leakage spots toward the bottom of the LCD you can only see at an extreme downward angle, certainly not while using the machine - you have to look for them (see picture).

Battery is in excellent condition (green zone).

There is 18 months left on the warranty. Here is a link to high resolution pix --> *Link removed*

I described with many details, but really it's very nice and quite fast with a new motherboard - plus I put Arctic Sliver 5 on the CPU and the fan is not loud.

$450 plus shipping (fixed at $20 w/insurance in the U.S.) PayPal, cash or USPS money order accepted.

Congrats to whom ever picks up this amazing machine. I'm disappointed it can't be me.

Ed is a pleasure to deal with though, for anyone eyeing this machine.
