I’m going to give you goobers first crack at it before I *shudder* try to sell it on eBay or Facebook. It functions perfectly and only shows minor cosmetic wear.

My needs for a laptop have changed, and this one was never what I thought I was ordering anyways as the seller was a bit deceptive. The ad never mentioned what screen it had but the pictures showed what looked like a little Nvidia sticker on the palmrest. That led me to believe it had the hi-res screen. The item I received had the base 1366x768 screen with integrated graphics.

I kept it and never filed a claim because A) It was a good price regardless of the screen and B) I needed a functional computer and couldn’t wait for another one to be shipped.

My dissatisfaction provided an impetus to build the desktop I’d been wanting for quite some time, and now that I have that for power use I don’t need such a beefy laptop anymore. I’ve replaced it with a more portable T440s.

Specs:

Thinkpad T540p

16gig DDR3

Core i5 4300M 2.6GHz, turbo up to 3.3

15.6" 1366x768

Not great for any serious gaming but if you’re looking for near-desktop multitasking capability and a full numpad, this is a good machine for you.

I’ll sell it for $150 (the price of the replacement I ordered) as-is with no hard drive but for a fellow Oppo I’ll throw in a 256gb Win10 SSD for free

I’m not interested in buying, but I am interested in beating anyone who thought it was ok to make a 15.6" laptop (especially one that is allegedly good) with a 1366x768 display after 2005 or so.

I might just take you up on that. I need a tough travel computer for going on my off-road trips. I used to have an ASUS eee-pc for that but it died and I really don’t love taking my work macpro. Does it have built in sd card reader?

I mean, at the time 1280x720 was still quite common so it's a step above absolute base at least.

Tempting here as well, I’m mostly a Mac user and only extremely rarely have any need of Windows at all. Let me know if HHFP doesn’t work out.

If Mr. Fistpunch does not acquire it, I’ll send you an e-mail. My laptop currently runs slower than my Ruckus.

Thanks for offering and that is a great deal — however I tried but just couldn’t think of enough reasons I might need a windows laptop.
