Hi,

My TR2AP3 broke recently :(  So I am looking for another TR notebook, preferably the TR1 series—since they are prob the cheapest. 

I was debating this, S series, & the affordable 700M, but I guess I got attached to the my TR CPU   I sold it & got $600 off eBay, so looking for $1000 for excellent condition TR—I am really going to baby it up this time :twisted:

I can pay using paypal.  And I am premium verified—whatever that means   I am new here, but I have some reference on eBay—350+ pos feedbacks w/out any neg/neutral.  It’s:

Tks in advance

I have a TR2A in perfect condition.  Standard specs/XP Home 40G 512MB Wireless, CDRW/DVD. $1250. and I’ll pick up the shipping. PayPal Verified with confirmed address (over 110 sales). eBay ID: 666dax 187 positive 98%. I’ve had both these accounts for close to 5 years. Let me know. I just picked up a Powerbook (sorry) and this would help to finance it.
Thanks

TR’s are nice….Why don’t you join me and get the 700m :twisted:

Hi, tks for the offer, but I am afriad it’s alittle more than what I am willing to spend. I guess I am spoiled, but VS TR2AP3, it has the XP Pro, b/g wireless, & 512mb memory

700M… I was fairly serious about it, but I don’t like the look of the butt jutting out in the rear—w/ the battery in.  Maybe you do?

Seriously, 700M is a good laptop though

I am so sick of people not favoring the batteries sticking out on laptops.

Would you rather keep the stock battery and have your laptop on for less than 2 hours…Becasuse thats what would happen on the 700m if you didn’t upgrade to the 8 cell.

And with my T-150, yeah the battery stuck out in the back,  just like the TR’s extended battery.

My T-150 battery life under normal usage was 8 hours….Yes, 8 hours….

Stop complaning about the batteries/.   You know I could fire up my T-150 without a battery in and it looked like one small laptop.

“Stop complaining about the batteries”

Pardon, but didn’t I say that I was going w/ TR notebook again?  I don’t have problem w/ TR batteries, but do w/ 700M.  So I am going w/ TR.  It’s simple as that—ok, the design, & the webcam too  

And I wasn’t talking about T-150.  I didn’t even mention it in my prior posts.  Ok, I did briefly considered it, though

Admitedly, that was one of the reason why I decided to go w/ TR book again.  As you know, they have very good battery life—even w/ the reg one.  I am not going to repute your T150 battery life claim of 8 hrs under normal usage, because I don’t have it.  But since some say that T series is a spritual successor to TR series, I am sure that it has a great bettery life too—if not better, as you say.  I don’t know what normal usuage is, because it differs w/ people, but w/ mine, it doesn’t last nearly that long even w/ the TR—not even 4+ hours. 

On the road, I have learned to use the notebook by adjusting the battery performance lv—even when I am using it for very extended time.  So, I am ok w/ it.  I really haven’t thought about getting a spare battery w. TR.  But I would, if I was going w/ 700m.  And that was an issue to me as well.

700m is hands down superior, perf wise.  It’s cheaper, fairly light, & the design is ok.  Only real draw back is the weak battery life.

TR is lighter, has adequate perf, is better looking, & cool.  Plus w/ the webcam, I can record it VGA—ok, aint that great, but it’s very useful for me. 

No offense, but that’s what it is…  It’s personal taste.  I will admit that I liked the design, webcam & the battery life.  So in the end, it got me thiking about TR again.

I am just going to assume, but will say that one of the reason why some people got TR is because of the design—they are willing to pay that extra $.  And I just don’t like the jutting design, is all.  Each to his/ her own, I guess.

Ha, now I am rambling…  And this was supposed to be for a wanted post.

My apologies, if I somehow offended you.  As I said, M700 is a great machine.  I am sure you will be happy w/ it

Thanks to TR666X, my TR2A is on the way. 

It’s funny.  I am sending out my broken TR2AP3 on Mon to eBayer, & he’s sending it on that day too
