It's also got decent upgrade potential as there's a WWAN slot which accepts mSATA SSDs (easy dual drive solution), plus there's an DVD optical drive which can be replaced with a 9.5mm caddy, therefore you can have three storage drives at max in this machine. The CPU and RAM are upgradable as well.
The laptop is in okay condition with a few scratches on the lid and some wear on the keycaps and palmrest.
I also redid the thermal paste on the CPU and dusted off the heatsink and fan, though they weren't dusty to begin with.
The 14" screen is a matte 1366 x 768 panel with decent image quality. There's a pressure mark on the right side but the screen works fine otherwise.
This laptop doesn't come with a battery however a new one isn't too expensive. It comes with a 65W power adapter so you can use it normally even without the battery.
While this laptop doesn't officially support Windows 11, it works in this laptop very well so I went with that.
Alternatively it can also run the following operating systems:
- Windows XP (no WiFi, Bluetooth and USB 3.0)
- Windows Vista (no WiFi, Bluetooth and USB 3.0)
I can install other OS for you, just PM me and tell me which OS you want.

Please note that I'll do a final check to the laptop and reset the system prior to delivery so you'll need to complete the initial setup before using it. Also I've recorded the S/N of the laptop and SSD to prevent scamming.
I try to describe it the best I can but may have missed a few tiny things so please feel free to ask questions.
Laptop will be sent through courier but collection is available at WD17, cash on collection also welcomed.
