    Opinions, please...

    Panasonic CF-W7 (CF-W7BWAZZAM)


    Core 2 Duo ULV [email protected] Ghz

    3GB RAM

    64GB Crucial C300 SSD

    12" XGA (1024x768) LCD

    Intel X3100 integrated graphics

    DVD RW

    Intel 4965 AG wireless

    Bluetooth, Modem, LAN

    WWAN upgradeable (at least I believe so, haven't tested that option)

    3 USB 2.0 ports

    SD card reader

    Security Chip (TPM)

    Touchpad

    U.S. Keyboard

    Win Vista Business COA

    Original Panasonic battery (shows 13% wear per NHC)

    Original Panasonic AC adapter

    around 2300 hrs


    known imperfections:

    - media drive is audible on startup, but works fine otherwise...don't know whether this really is an imperfection but figured that there's no harm in mentioning it...
    - one trackpoint-size pressure mark on the LCD
    - missing one screw on the bottom
    - HD cover has a slight crack and several scratches.


    Runs like a deer, was one of my Linux boxes and behaved fabulously well as such, but I'm *severely* trimming down on my laptop collection...

    Let's see whether this one stays or goes...TIA for any input.

    Since a great many of the people on this forum really interested in this sized system were able to get new in the box W8s for $350 a couple of years ago, I suspect that a used W7 in the condition you describe would have a hard time fetching more than that.

    Good luck,
    Dave

    Thanks for the input.

    Given the lack of interest that my FS listing for this machine has generated, I'll be keeping it...
