IBM Thinkpad 390x 2626-FOU Celeron-400 (CPU upgradeable)
320mb RAM (64mb + 256mb NEW Crucial)
1.44 fdd/CD-ROM combo
12.1" screen (screen has a very light scratch on it that isn't noticable whatsoever when the unit is on. Just noting for picky people).
20gb hdd (Toshiba - NEW)
Onboard sound, serial, parallel, USB, 56k modem
2 PCMCIA slots
-Comes with AC adapter but needs a battery. Lion or NimH are readily available on ebay for reasonable prices.
-No OS is included. Runs 98, 2k, Linux, and XP perfectly.
This is a solid, solid notebook. I've owned 2 in the past (gave away to family members) and have had no problems whatsoever. You can upgrade the CPU in this up to P3-500 (CPUs are readily available on ebay, they're easy to install, and I'm available for assistance. Takes about 10 mins to install). You can also remove the cd-rom/fdd and plug an extra battery into that bay. That way you can get 2 batteries for extended running time.
I'm so confident in this unit that I will fully warranty it for 30 days (except against drops).
Can also throw in an 802.11b Linksys PCMCIA for +$25. Prince on the laptop is $350, which includes UPS Ground or Fedex Ground shipping. Payment by paypal is accepted.
Thanks.
