my professor was talking about his packratting skills and mentioned an old ibm he had. he said it was a laptop, had a floppy drive and some type of build in printer in the back of it, and it had a lift up screen, so it must of been a thinkpad....

anyclue what this could be?

Built in printer? Sounds like the ThinkPAd 555BJ. Am I correct? I've put a link down below to a website with some pictures of it.

your guesses are as good as mine, ill have to show him what i found and see what happens. basically we were talking about ebay and selling old things on it.

any value with these?

The best money you'd get for that thing would come from a collector, so once you find once you find out what it is, if you do put it on eBay, advertise the auction on a few technology messageboards.

Outside of collectors, I don't think there is really much value to it, shipping costs would probably outweigh what the laptops worth, so if you don't like having it around, I'd just give it to a friend or maybe to a neighbor who has a kid that could use a computer for something.
