Also from the time of the 600e up to the a31p was probably the best
built time of thinkpads. So they should last longer than earlier and
later models.
I was surprised last week, I was offered a 600e, P2 266 as new and
complete. The previous owner tried to put XP on it!! with 64mb ram.
Only just booted! then hung. I put the max ram it would take, and it
now chuggs along quite nicely.
Paid $40.00 for it ,just for fun.

They definitely are good systems. I have a 600E (366MHz?) that lived
with me for many years, then with my parents for years, and is now back
on my shelf. Other than the battery it is in perfect condition. It has
Win98 since I haven't had a need to use it and upgrade the memory and
OS, but I don't doubt it would be capable. I also have an A21p that is
our main 'take it along on the trip' laptop. Again, other than the
battery it is perfect. Damn batteries! The parent's "new" laptop is an
A31p which is also in excellent condition.
Ted - where do you find RAM for the 600E and what's the max you've put
in one?
Thanks,
Rob
As a laptop dealer I get all sorts offered to me , so I buy them in to
break for chassis bits, hard drives, memory ,optical drives etc.
Ive a 600e with 288mb 66mhz another with 293 100mhz and a 600x with
293.mb.
Havnt tried to maxout the memory.
Most have 128mb memory on each stick.ibm.
there all in my personal collection.
Thinkpads are hard to comeby in the UK. The main types are Dell, then
Toshiba then HP/compaq.
Most in demand are the Dell latitude C840 p4 with the 15in 1600 by
1200 screen.All ex corporate .
