For Sale: IBM ThinkPad X22

In an effort to clear up the utter mess which is my home office, I'm selling my old laptop. It's an IBM ThinkPad X22 (ultra-portable), with (and this is from memory) a Pentium 3 Mobility at 733MHz, 640MB RAM, and a 20GB HDD. I think. (update: 40GB HDD). It has built-in wired ethernet but no built-in wireless, though I can throw in the Orinoco-based wi-fi card I've been using. There is also the UltraSlice micro-docking station with a hotpluggable CD drive/HDD bay. It will come booting Debian, but it has a Windows 2000 license and I'm sure I have the CD somewhere in the attic. The main caveat is that the screen hinges have lost their grip so it is best used either closed as a router or network music box, or against something to keep the screen from falling open. :)

So, anyone want to make an offer? I'll put it on eBay if nobody wants it, but I thought I'd offer it out to the Planets first. If anyone is interested ping me and I'll go and turn it on to double-check the specifications.

Can you show some pictures of it?

Yeah, tomorrow.  Basically it's in excellent condition considering its age, my god Thinkpads of that generation were solidly built. :)

Hi Ross.  I would give you $150 for it. Maybe a little more if the hinges were good.  Send me an email at richspaid@yahoo.com if you're interested.  Thanks.

Is your X22 still available?
