In the course of buying Macs and SGI systems and other computers, I've accumulated a number of Windows/Intel/PC laptops, which I wish to get rid of without a lot of fuss or testing. If the laptop is working I'll say so but I can't warrent these. I'll sell the whole laptop as described, or parts. If I don't have a price listed, MAKE AN OFFER. But it's generally not worth my while to ship and sell a laptop for less than $20 plus shipping. Parts can sell for less with shipping. I have some customer references.
Power supplies: Almost all the IBM Thinkpads below use a 16V DC supply at various currents, same physical connector. I'm not offering IBM laptop power supplies at this time. Most of the Dell laptops below use the same power supplies; I have several of those. I generally won't sell a laptop power supply for less than $10 plus shipping.
Memory and hard drives:. I may have removed hard drives and memory from these laptops as they've remained in my inventory. Consider an offer or a value to you WITHOUT these items or with. I'll check before confirming an offer.
To contact me, check my ordering page for my email address, and to see my terms. I'll need a city/state/ZIP from you to determine shipping costs. My Web site home page is at this link.
Functional means these laptops come up and display or boot an operating system, or ask for a boot disk - read the descriptions. Some have an operating system, but WE DON'T WARRENT OR SELL ANY SOFTWARE, we are only selling hardware. Details in the descriptions. If it says it boots or displays, we'll test again before selling it.

My primary business is in Mac/Apple computers and parts. I have Mac references at this link. Below are some references for these laptops.
D. H. bought an IBM thinkpad, for the parts. He writes: "Got notebook, pulled dvd and hd all are fine.. thanks again."
J. W. writes: "Herb, thanks for the laptop. I replaced the broken screen with the one you sent and now the IBM 380d works great.My neice really liked that she has "her own laptop" now. It's something she's always wanted. Thanks for the bargain."
