Question about buying used T60

#1 Post by sllewe » Tue Dec 29, 2009 12:30 am

Hello all,

Great forum, I have been lurking for a while now trying to soak up as much as I can. I am in the market for a cheap used laptop that I can transport to and from work for very simple tasks. I work in the IT sector, so I maintain and install PCs almost every day. However, I have noticed that it seems that some thinkpad's have configs are rock solid while others, not so much. I am looking at a t60 in ebay (scary I know) IT can be found Here

Are their any known issues with this config? I understand that buying a used leased laptop is risky, but at that price its hard to say no. ANy reasons I should stay away?

Thanks!!

Sean

Price is very low for such a config, esp. considering the extras. It looks to me like the IT department of some company is getting rid of its old laptop fleet. If the machines are in full working order, the deal looks very good.

I might have missed it but the seller makes no mention of the screen resolution. You might want to email him to ask, otherwise looks like a solid deal to me.
