Hi, what about a second-hand ibm X31 in excellent conditions at 200 euro ?
It is a centrino 1400 mhz with 1 gb of ram.
I need a second light laptop (I've already have a 14.1" dual core HP business notebook) and so...
-
-
What about it?
-
Yes.
Do You think it can be right as second (light) notebook ?
Is it better than netbooks like asus eee, etc. ? -
-
About three house of life.
Do You think that 180 euro is a good price ?
Under the aspect of "power" a centrino how can be considered if compared with an atom ?
I know that the keyboard is really better and in fact keyboard and build quality for me are the more important aspects when it comes to choose a notebook. -
Centrino isn't a CPU like the Atom is. Is it a Pentium M? If so, it is faster than an Atom, though the Atom has HT so it may "seem" a bit smoother for certain things.

It is a pentium M centrino speestep.

If keyboard and build quality are your top concerns then you can't go wrong with the x31, it's a great workhorse. -
If really in "excellent condition" worth every penny. Heck it's worth 180 Euro for the trackpoint alone. I considered getting a netbook but the thought of suffering with a touchpad was scary. I ended up quadrupling my budget and getting a X200s.
-
I really wondering about buying it.
The seller, moreover, has proposed to give me the X31 and a T42 (Both in really good condition) in change of my HP 6510 B (T7250) but I'm not sure it is a good choice for me.
I probably prefer to get the X31 at 180 euro.. -
I would suggest getting the x31 and using it as your portable machine and leaving your HP 6510B chained to a desk (possibly with external keyboard/monitor) for work that requires extra CPU power. -
The T42 cpu is very older than that on X31 ? -
-
Ok, ok.
However in Your opinion, for that price, the X31 can be a good solution to have a really portable laptop ?
Do You know its effective weigth ? -
-
Thanks.
I'm uncertain if buy it or choose a new netbook (That probably costs me at least one hundred euro more) but considering keyboard quality and display size I'm about to choose the ibm... -
I'd also suggest taking a look at the HP 2510p. It's newer than the X31 and relatively cheap (here in the US anyways). I've owned both a 6710b (the 15.4" equivalent to the 6510b) as well as a 2510p and the 2510p has better build quality (being a high-level business notebook as opposed to an entry-level) and is extremely portable.
-
-
Oh, and since the 2510p is quite a bit newer than the X31, it is more comparable to the X61s. -
No idea about Euros but here in our shop we sell refurbished X31 and T42 laptops for $199 with a warranty. All have 512mb RAM and a new 80gb hard drive. All have CDRW/DVD combos as well.
