WTT: Dell Inspiron 531 w/256MB gfx for ThinkPad, server, Mac

#1 Post by iThinkiAmBen » Thu May 15, 2008 6:55 am

Yup. I don't need it at all. Anyway, it's been used for about a day total. I don't have any pics of it, because I'm going to school in 15 minutes... yeah.

EDIT: I suppose I should tell you guys exactly why I'm selling it. First of all, I'm 14 and I bought it for my mother for mother's day. Unfortunately she didn't want it, and gave it back to me. I took a huge loss by opening the box, so I'd like to make lemons into lemonade by turning my loss into a ThinkPad loss!

Anyway, specs.
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.1GHz
- 1GB DDR2 RAM
- 250GB 7200RPM HD
- nVidia GeForce 6200LE 256MB video card, with box and cables
- all CDs and restore disks
- all manuals
- will be shipped in original box
Oh, BTW, it's running Vista Home Basic. It's really not that bad.

So, what I'd like to do is trade it for a ThinkPad, cause I seem to be very into them lately. I'd love an X series, X30 or up. Decent battery a must. Or a Mac, or a server.

I'd also entertain offers for G41s, an A31p, or a T series. (So what if I have a T43 already? :D)

Reply here or PM with offers.
Thanks a lot!

(Oh, I think I need an asking price, don't I? Well, I'd really rather trade it, but if it makes you happy, mods, $400.)

Does the Dell include a monitor?

If you had a nice trade I could include a 24" Dell.

Ooooh! A 24", that would be nice. :D But, I don't have a nice trade, sorry. Only Thinkpads I have right now are an X20 and A22P.

Actually, she's like "Oh.... neat! You can DRAW on it?"

She also likes the Dell Latitude XT...

Otherwise, ANYONE interested? :cry:
