SOLD!mint hi-end T43, FlexView, loaded, worldwide

#1 Post by ajkula66 » Wed May 21, 2008 8:02 pm

the basics:

ThinkPad T43 2668-92U

Original description:
P M 760
512MB RAM..............................now 1.5Gb
80GB 5400rpm HDD......................now 60Gb/7200rpm
15 SXGA+(1400x1050) TFT LCD...........one flawless FlexView
64MB ATI Radeon X300
CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner
Intel 802.11a/b/g wireless(MPCI)
Bluetooth/Modem(CDC)
1Gb Ethernet(LOM)
UltraNav
Secure Chip
Fingerprint Reader
6c Li-Ion......................9cell, in red, holds 48% of the original charge, about 2hrs
WinXP Pro..................COA and restore media included

In plain English, this one is as nice as they came with next to no wear, 9.5 out of 10 or better in my book. If you are looking for a 15" T4x machine with an IPS LCD, you honestly should look no further. I just have to trim down my FlexView collection... :lol:

Please be advised that this is an ex-IBM demo unit, so you'll be buying a piece of history apart from getting a great ThinkPad that this one is.

There is no factory warranty left on this machine.

Asking $535 OVNO plus reasonable shipping depending on your location. As most of you know, I ship worldwide and accept a variety of payment methods.

Feel free to PM me for high-resolution pictures, or with any questions/concerns that you might have.

I spoke to my family member who was looking for a Thinkpad but she told me now that she wants an Xseries unit. Ahh never ends!

But sweet unit AND deal! Flexiew is always king.

How long have you had the laptop, btw? Do normal T43s run as hot as the T43p units? I used to have a T43p and it was always sooo warm.

I have both T43 and T43p with same CPUs and almost identical configuration, and T43p is a lot warmer, fan runs constantly, but this has been attributed to V3200 GPU for the most part.

BTW, it's absolutely amazing to me how cooler 2.0 T43/p units run when compared to 2.13/2.26...having said that, they are miles away from the coolness of T42's 1.8...

If I were not expecting a long and nasty strike two months from now, this would never leave my house, for the sheer fact of being an ex-IBM test/demo unit, let alone the condition of it...

The constant fan on the T43p is what was its only downside, truthfully. But then again if you want a workstation GPU thats what you get.

Thanks for the info!
