I use a T31 8-10 hours a day for work.  Pretty solid piece of hardware.

I posted it up on Craigslist last night and I've already had 5 or 6 emails about it. I don't think it's going to last long.

2 were obviously scammers wanting to pay with AlertPay  ::)  The others are local. I will only do local on Craigslist.

I always like the "I want to send to my daughter in Africa for schooling" emails.  It's fun to mess with them sometimes, but it gets annoying after a while heh.

Looking for cash only. I'll get some pics up.

Cocking port? I've heard of other slang terms for it but never that one. ;D

IBM's kick all sorts of ass as long as you don't have to actually work on them. Amazing machines, bulletproof (in some cases, literally), but MY GODS do they suck to take apart.
$6.75 the hard way-one quarter at a time.

Amen to that.  I had to take mine apart to solder the power connector...  Holy Craap.  It was about 45 minitues and 45 screws to get to the stupid thing. 

aargh!

Oh, and bump for a great laptop!

Correct. The T30 doesn't have built in Wifi. It does have built in Ethernet though. If you're really interested I could knock off another $10 for a wireless adapter. It looks like it would cost around $25 UPS ground.

It's a great machine. the only reason I'm getting rid of it is I already have 2 laptops and 6 desktops on my network. Wife doesn't want to see another PC.  ::)

Gotta talk to the wife tonight, but i'm interested.  Obviously if someone has cash in hand, dont hold it for me, but I'm thinking we can work something out for this.

Dell and Toshiba are the same way, its usually a 2-3 hour process to replace mobos on either of those systems.. and dont even ask about how much fun tablet PCs are....

Hopefuly someone snags this, good price for a good laptop if I had the cash Id jump on it but holding out for other toys :D

I disagree-I can replace a motherboard in a Dell laptop in 20-30 minutes, IBMs take me 50-100% longer because of the way they're put together.

Is that your Craigs list add in the Akron/Canton area?

If so I'm interested, I'm in Brunswick.  I would need wifi though, I didn't follow what you said on that...so how much more to get that?

I've got the cash but I'm leaving tomorrow for vacation, will be back on 10/16.  I guess if you sell before then I've missed the boat.

Actually I'm in the Cincinnati area. The T30 doesn't have built in WiFi that's why I lowered the price another $10. It doesn't cost much to pick up a USB Wifi adapter. I've gotten them for $10-$15 before.
