    Thats where mine came from... and I cant recommend him enough! the service was top drawer! Jay answered emails quickly and sent out the aptop when promised, he posted on saturday and the thing arrived on my doorstep Wednesday - in the uk!!!

    The laptop itsself - properly refurbed no marks to any of the silver, keyboard wasnt shiny or dirty, only the smallest nmber of scuffs to the edges of the back round the base - from the documentation and labels has originated from Planitroi who are a large scale MS certified toughbook refurb company, they have warranties and was packed very well for its trip.

    the ram is all mounted on the mobo, with the slot free :) these also have a few extras it seems...

    the media bay has the connector for a VIP tester module - not a huge amount of use, but the PCMCIA bay has a connector for a PCMCIA WWAN module instead of the crazy money paasonic WWAN option... :)

    You would be correct. The TLD for the link is .be, which is Belgium.

    I bought one from them as well. Very good condition, just a few marks on the case and a little wear on the touchpad. Battery lasts over 3 hours.

    It had 512MB on the board with the slot open - so I added a 1GB DDR Crucial module.

    The return address is California, but the UPS tracking shows it coming from New Jersey.

    It has a CD-ROM drive (I plan to upgrade that), and the built-in antenna for WWAN, but it goes to a pigtail that ends by the PC (PCMCIA) card slots, one of which is covered with a metal bracket. There is no WWAN card in there, and the sled is empty.
