Hi everyone,

I'm a student and need a computer to study with for my upcoming finals. I had a T60, but it's been on the fritz recently, and I need something quick. My only requirements are that 1) it has no defects on the screen, and 2) it comes with an ac adapter.

Let me know if you've got something you're looking to get rid of. Also, suggestions on which models I should be looking for would also be helpful, as I'm only familiar with T60s, and they're outside my price range at the moment.

Thanks!
Matt

Should've also mentioned -

If you've got something that may fit what I'm looking for, hit me up with 1) the model name/number, 2) the usual specs (cpu, ram, etc), 3) any relevant details i should know, and 4) price.

If you liked your T60, look at BobA T40's that he has for sale. They are definitely fast enough for finals. Definitely the best bang for your buck. If you were looking for something more portable, you could go with an X series, but for under $200, you wouldn't be able to find an X series with the kind of performance a T4x could offer.

I agree, for $190 (or $210 w/60GB 7200rpm drive), this one is tough to beat!

I got one of the T40's off of BobA. They are a very nice machine for that price.
Plus Bob was great to deal with.
