I have purchased 7 of these to fix up for friends.Be aware that all these older machines may need the CMOS battery changed as they are only supposed to last around 5 years. Make sure that they don't display "fan error" before the purchase. Try to get ones that have 2 gigs of ram, not 1 gig. These machines can be picked up without a OS for between $50 and $80. They are a good buy at that price and work well with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Everything works with that OS, including the wifi as long as the wifi hardware switch on the front edge is turned on. Don't be afraid to buy one without a hard drive. A new hard drive caddy and screws can be had on ebay for a couple of bucks. Used 2.5 sata drives are cheap, better yet invest in a solid state drive. Don't be afraid to get one without the power cord if it is a good buy as power cords can be had for around 7 bucks shipped. You can increase the ram to 4 gigs and they are great with the solid state drives. Perfect machine for the enlightened who use Ubuntu!!! Perfect for those who want to try Ubuntu without paying big bucks. I intend to keep buying them and fixing them up.Read full review
Lenovo Thinkpad T61 14.1" Laptop I have 3 of these T61's 2.5ghz processors I bought used here on eBay. I installed Win7 Pro 64 bit O/S added 4G (8G max w/64 bit) of RAM, updated the BIOS & Wow talk about a work horse, they work awesome set up this way. Lenovo Thinkpad T61 is a very solid well build laptop that will last for many many years reliable of service.
Thank you very much but my brother had to work on it. Not perfect as wanted at first, but the hardware was, so he worked on it, and now is 100% as expected. Before didn't even load anything when you had already start menu. So thank you for item, would think twice before buying again, but thank you, my other brother is happy, the owner.
I need to purchase notebooks with WIN XP for specific business purposes. These Lenovo laptops have great internal hardware giving the Thinkpads enough oomph to handle being on the network.
