WTT: White 1.83 Core Duo Macbook for (older) Thinkpad

#1 Post by PizzaandWine » Thu Mar 04, 2010 6:36 pm

Afternoon all,

I have a non-perfect Macbook I'm looking to trade for a--likely older--Thinkpad (ideally a T4x, but others happily considered) First the Macbook specs:

What to trade:
Macbook, White.
1.83 Core Duo Processor
2gb DDR RAM (can be switched to 1gb)
(newish) WD 320gb Sata 5400rpm drive. (can be switched to 60gb)
Intel GMA 950
Combo Drive
13.3'' glossy display

Physically it is in OK shape give 3-4 years of wear. No palm-rest cracks, or cracks otherwise. Display is still in good shape with no stuck pixels. Minor wear scratches all around the body. Hard-drive is almost brand new (perhaps 4 months of use on it.)

The bad news... battery is near the end of its life. It holds a charge only for 5-15 minutes after being unplugged. The other gone bad is the wireless--very weak signal. I've opened up the case and there is no obvious physical damage to the card, but it seems not to get enough power to get a signal more than 10-15 feet away. (This may be related to the battery--though I am not sure.) Together it means that this would be an ideal computer for someone who wants to use the laptop primarily at their desk (plugged in) with an ethernet connection. All other ports continue to work. I will also include a mini-DVI to s-video adapter.

What I'm looking for:
A fully working thinkpad, ideally from the T4x series (although will consider R, Z or A series as well.) Prefer Pentium 4-M or later, and 512mb RAM or more. Needs to have USB 2.0 ports, and a working S-video port. Also needs a power supply and ideally a semi-functional battery. Wireless ideal though not required.

PM is the best way to reach me and arrangements (or pics) can go from there.

Cheers.
