IBM ThinkPad 380E Type 2635 - Vintage Computer Pentium MMX 150mHz CPU - 31MB RAM:
$3.59

For sale here is a vintage IBM ThinkPad 380E Type 2635 laptop. As is common with the 3xx line of IBM ThinkPads, the screen has suffered some damage over the years. Most of the screen looks fine apart from a cluster of red pixels in the top left (see photos). Despite this, the computer works just fine and is quite capable - I would recommend plugging it into an external VGA screen though because even when these screens are in prime condition, they aren't exactly enjoyable to use.
The computer has several cracks/chunks of plastic missing in a few spots (see photos) but isn't exactly about to fall apart, it seems sturdy in its construction. The battery doesn't hold its charge at all but I will be including it anyway. The power supply used to test the computer is not included in this sale.Some modern ThinkPad power supplies are compatible (it requires 16V and 2.20A) so I would recommend buying one of those.
The specs are as follows:
  • Pentium MMX 150mHz CPU
  • 31MB RAM
  • 3.5" 1.44MB floppy disk drive
  • Built-in mouse nub and right/left click buttons (all tested and working. The rubber mouse nub has hardened somewhat and feels more like plastic now)
  • PS/2 mouse port
  • VGA video out port
  • Parallel port
  • Serial port (these 3 ports are obscured by a detachable cover)
  • 2 x PCMCIA ports
Using an external parallel-port hard drive and a custom PC-DOS boot disk (both not included), I was able to run Quake in 320 x 200 resolution mode at a high framerate, often staying at a solid 30FPS. The machine does not currently have an internal hard drive, but luckily it uses a standard laptop IDE interface and it would be relatively inexpensive to add a compact flash card with an adapter inside for very fast storage.
All you will be receiving from this sale is the computer mentioned above.Due to age, the problems relating to the screen, and various cracks in the case, this computer is being sold as-is with no guarantees as to its functionality.
