You could just click this link where I have all those options already selected. Go down the list until you find a good Thinkpad T400 or T500.

laptop | eBay


Here's a good T400 from that list.
Lenovo T400 14 1" Laptop Core2Duo 2 40 GHz 4GB RAM 150GB HDD DVD | eBay

Here's another T400 from that list.
Lenovo ThinkPad T400 Laptop Notebook Core 2 Duo 2 53GHz 4GB 250GB Win7 Bluetooth | eBay

Here's a T500 that I might get before you get to it... I kinda need one myself, to replace a slow laptop in my current lineup.
Lenovo ThinkPad T500 Core 2 Duo T9400 2 53GHz 80GB 4GB DVD RW 15 4" w Win 7 | eBay

I used the free version of Avast and it slowed down my puter to nearly non-working..I put Norton 360 back on and it sped up to normal again..N-360 works wonderfully for me.

Everyone love or hates the same thing theres usually never any happy customers with all things it seems, my freind Rose used Norton and hated it, so you just never know

I dont have a paypal account, or at least when I tried it it told me my password was expired, because it had been too long

I clicked buy it now, but I knew I couldnt use my account

if you get a used one, you MIGHT be able to get windows 7, just ask if they have any with it on the puter. If you buy new, windows 8 will already be on it.. as for AV, mine had norton put on it when I bought it. They usually put on whatever AV they have in the store..

I know the feeling we have a 15 year old car, been saving for that and its gone as of this week, we have a mortgage escrow shortage of close to $3500 and that just wiped out the rest of the half of what we had saved towards that, and this also is just the loose change from THAT!

Back to square one, hoping the car will last 16 year (or 17) whatever I can get from it lol



Its always something.

I edited in, it wasnt a mortgage shortage but a a mortgage ESCROW shortage, made ourselves sound like we didnt pay the mortage for months or something lol

Yeah, that was peanuts in light of other things.

BUT we havent had to take out a loan, and even though coming down to nothing its better then being in the hole, been there before, and hate that.

That was one of the specifications in that ebay link I sent you - I selected Win7 only.

And you could just put the money on a prepaid visa card (Walmart will do that for you) and then use the card to purchase online stuff. Ebay will take visa.
