Excellent condition. I look after my kit as others here will be able to tell you

Keyboard, screen and general chassis is unmarked and as good as the day it came out of the box. A few light marks to the finish on the lid, but nothing noticeable as the photos show.

Ideal for someone who needs to use a laptop while out and about, but needs the built quality and performance of a ‘proper’ laptop. Battery life is excellent, upto 5hrs and it’s also very quiet and quick to boot up, thanks to the SSD drive.

Asking £300 for this. Considering the cost when new and also what you’re getting. I’ll challenge you to find something else similar for the money - that combines lightness, solid build quality, a full-size keyboard and a pretty generous LED display at that resolution

Will get some photos of the machine up later today.

Thanks,

Steve

'Library' images for the moment....

Would you take £200? its for my old dear her laptop went tits up few weeks back and she's moaning about it lol.

No, sorry.

Might be able to do something for you on delivery upto Glasgow for £300 all-in, if that's any good.

Bump - anyone else?

Before I head to eBay...

Please let us know the ebay link

It's not up there yet, haven't had chance. Feel free to drop me a PM in the meantime.

Cheers,

Steve.

Quite tempting, as I'm looking to change jobs at the moment which would mean handing back "my" current laptop (which is actually work's). Do you know if there's Windows 7 support for these? My current spare laptop is XP only :(

No worries. Can't forsee any Win7 issues at all, seeing as it was certified for Vista when new.

With other machines, I've never seen a problem going from Vista to 7.

Normally I'd agree, but the Toshiba M400 I currently have on my desk at home simply won't work with 7, there's some random custom disk "controller" for the RAID that screws it up even when you only have one disk in a one-disk JBOD. Vista works, and there are Vista drivers for this virtual RAID controller but they simply won't work with 7 whatever I try so it refuses to find any drives to install onto. Most bizarre.

That's Toshiba though

Valid point though, things like RAID controllers are most likely to have issues and be 'driver sensitive'.

I'll see how much time I have at the weekend; might Ghost the brand new Vista Business install I've put on there, and try Win7 on it for you. Then if it doesn't work for whatever reason I can report back, then just revert to the Vista build.

Nah, don't worry about it, I don't want to waste your time when I'm not certain how interested I am at the moment. Knowing you're a techie, I was just wondering whether you'd already used Win7 on it for personal use using work licenses, MSDN, etc. Obviously you'd have to sell it with Vista on as that's what the machine is licensed for, but that doesn't mean you haven't used 7 on it yourself, IYSWIM

I can hit up Google and the Lenovo website later on and see what the crack is, cheers though

Hi Steve,

Does it have all the original software installed, such as the Lenovo recover/backup etc? And has it needed any repair work? Is the original charger & leads included? How would it be shipped, or could we meet up half way? I might be interested and know you look after things

PM'd.

Provisionally SOLD.

I'm running 7 (dual boot with Ubuntu) on my (work) x301, and it's fine.

Cheers

Did it sell?

Going on Sunday...

SOLD.
