    Yes. Last summer I was selling the T61 (slightly better spec - bigger screen) for over £400. They're built like tanks and have nice little features such as drain holes in the keyboard so spilling your drink on it doesn't kill it.

    Its well worth the money.

    It's a good deal as long as the battery is in good condition.

    It's not a particular good deal, as it's not a final price. Plus it has no DVD writer. So unless you particularly want this machine....

    If your thinking of buying that one of them, mmmm. I bought an IBM refurbished one from them on Ebay, took a long time to arrive and not far up the road. O and it lasted about a year before dying. :(

    Seems a good machine to me for the money, I got a 1.6ghz, 1GB ram netbook from bigpockets.co.uk for £160 & it doesn’t have any Optical drive, this is a better machine & it has a 3 month guarantee.
    Gotta be quick, only 8 mins left
