I’ve just upgraded to a T60, so I’m selling my IBM Thinkpad T42. SOLD.

That means you can have swap out the DVD drive for an extra battery or extra hard disk for maximum versatility.

I just saw a similar (used) machine go on ebay for $1,500, but with no accessories. I’ll sell for $1,500 shipped insured to anywhere in the continental USA, and will throw in the additional included accessories noted above.

The RAM was replaced with new RAM directly from IBM/Lenovo in November 2005, and is working perfectly.

The two batteries were replaced just a few months ago and are holding a charge as if they were new.
