Need your help looking for a used thinkpad...

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I am going to be traveling Europe this summer and would like to take a laptop so i can dump my digital pics onto it and access wifi. Now i have settled on an IBM because my small experience with them has been great as far as durability and what not.

I am looking for a small light thinkpad, i really dont care about the specs, it just has to have at least one USB, working LCD/keyboard/touchpad, and a PCMICA slot if it does not have built in wifi. Optical drive is not a "must have" but is a "would be nice" since i have two ultra probables right now that are single spindled i know how to get by without one (i have an Asus S5n [my main computer] and a Toshiba Evo n400c [if i cannot find an IBM ill be taking this with me]).

Oh, and i would like it to have readily available batteries, ie: since most used laptop batteries are dead i can get a replacement easily. And if possible under 3.5lbs.

Any help will be great guys! thanks in advance!

P.S. i like touch pads.... but can live with the pencil eraser. Oh and want to spend around $200.

You could try a T23. They are really cheap. It supports two batteries if you take out the optical drive, and a brand new battery is around 30-40Euro.
There ar models with inbuilt wifi but those are really hard to find. You can recognise them by the black shiny plate on bouth sides of the LCD panel. Only those have inbuilt antennas. The weight: 2.3kg (around 4.5lbs if I'm right).

If you'r really into portability try an X20,21. I don't have any experience with those but I've seen them around 200-300 Euros.

Good luck!

If your budget were higher, I have an X30 I'm trying to get rid of to help pay for my fiance's new laptop...

Yup look for a used X30 on ebay. Got mine for 299$ 8 months ago.
