IrishMASMSI spent some of my weekend finishing up preparing my two #Thinkpad #W500 “mobile workstations” to sell. While my time on the #pro-leisure-circuit has been great digging into the #IBM and #Lenovo Thinkpad appreciation cult, I do not need all these #laptops and could use some spending money for other projects.
The one #W500 4061-B13 is running #Windows10 #x86 Enterprise #LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel), and the other is a W500 4062-4FU for parts/upgrades, along with 6 spare batteries. Between the two W500’s, there is a nice ThinkPad here. Hopefully this bundle will be enticing for someone.
My post went to the local #craigslist, the #vintagecomputing communities I am in, and over on thinkpads.com:
https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=136998
I would hate to take these parts to #ewaste and figured someone in the various communities could use these parts & would be interested.
Some #pictures are attached but check out the thinkpads.com #forum post for all the items & #images.
And if interested – feel free to reach out.

I'm bringing back there two #Lenovo #Thinkpads: an #R400 & a #W500. Both are curb finds - scrounge some power supplies, they both booted up fine. Ordered a battery to replace the missing one on the R400 and the #SODIMM upgrades that I did not already have on hand to max out the memory on both. Also ordered a #PCMCIA card to add #eSATA and one for #USB3 capabilities for my drive docks.
The R400 is running #Win10 32 bit just fine, the W500 is next. Yea, #windoz for some hard drive testing software that only runs on #windowz 😞
The #T45 is next with a lightweight #Linux or #BSD distro. Pictures & updates on a future #makeshitmonday
