    Ok, well, awesome shape for an old Toughbook!

    This CF-27 works fine with no issues except a single pixel wide line across the top middle of the screen and the lack of a right hinge. Sounds like a POS, I know, but otherwise it's great! The screen is held up fine with the left hinge only but replacing the right hinge is just a couple screws.

    It has a clean installation of Windows XP Professional SP3 with all the updates and drivers.

    Touchscreen works great and screen isn't all scratched up.

    Pics make the screen look yellow; it isn't. It's nice and bright!

    Keyboard is MINT!!! No dim spots and no wear or tears.

    Laptop works quite well and isn't as slow as you might think. I put a PCMCIA wireless card in there (included) and it browses the net fine.

    Battery does hold a charge for about 20-30 minutes last I tried.

    Specs:
    PII 300MHz
    320mb RAM (256mb PC100 stick)
    10gb hard drive
    Floppy
    PCMCIA wireless

    This is complete with the handle and all covers except the power jack.

    The keyboard alone is worth $50 and does fit the CF-28 and 29.

    I'm asking $75 for the laptop. If it doesn't sell, I'm going to part it.

    AC adaptor is not included. Pretty much any PIII or lower Toughbook adapter will work.
