Testing waters: T61p 15" for 14"

[themightyquinn]

So I have a T61p 15.4" widescreen that I bought in September, 2007 (so a little under 1.5 years old now). It's been a great laptop, and it's always been well taken care of (never dropped, damaged, etc.). The only thing is that the 15" has been a little big for me to be carrying around campus this year, and so I'm looking to downsize to a 14" model. I would be looking for really any 14" T-series (T4x, T6x, even T400). There's nothing wrong with it (except the battery, see below), so I don't necessarily want to let it go, but would for the right 14". Obviously I'd like it to be as similar to my T61p as possible (hardware/spec-wise), but compensation could always be arranged either for or against. Would also consider selling outright. Here's the specs for my T61p:

6459-CTO, 1YR Warranty (ran out)

Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2GHz

Vista Ultimate 64-bit

15.4" WUXGA TFT Widescreen 1900x1200

Dedicated Nvidia QuadFX 570M 256MB

4GB GeIL RAM (installed myself, Vista sees all 4GB)

Trackpoint, Touchpad, and Fingerprint Reader

200GB Hitachi 7200prm HDD (installed myself)

DVD/CDRW Slim Drive

PCI slot + 7in1 card reader

Atheros 11ABG Wifi/LAN

Bluetooth

9-cell battery (currently holds no charge, but I could see about a replacement or keep it as is...)

AC Power cable



I can get some pictures up in a day or so.

A few questions:
1. Do you have the install media for Vista Ultimate 64-bit?
2. Does the HD have a recovery partition? If so, what's the OS on that one?
3. Do you have the original HD still around, with the recovery partition intact?
4. Can you clarify by what you mean with "PCI slot + 7in1 card reader"?
thx.

Sorry, let me clarify:

1. I have the box, but can't find the disk. Logic tells me it should be around here somewhere. (I did a clean install of Vista, so it should be around...which leads to 2.)
...2. No
3. No
4. I meant that for expansion slots (on the left side of the machine) it has a PCMCIA (Cardbus) and Expresscard slots. Separetely it has the 4in1 memory card reader. Also has a Firewire 1394 port.

Thanks
