•Hardware & Performance Specifications:
Processor: Intel Mobile Pentium III running at 800 MHz.
•Memory: 640 MB RAM — This is the absolute maximum capacity supported by this motherboard! Save yourself the time and high expense of sourcing rare, period-correct PC133 SDRAM sticks.
•Storage: Original 20GB IBM Travelstar IDE Hard Drive is physically intact and fully recognized by the system.
•Operating System: Features the original Windows XP Professional COA (Certificate of Authenticity) sticker with a fully legible product key on the bottom of the chassis.
•Detailed Condition Report:
•Display/LCD: The 12.1" screen is in immaculate condition. The CCFL backlight is bright, crisp, and uniform with none of the typical yellowing, corner fading, or screen "tunneling/bleeding" common in laptops of this era.
•Testing & Functionality: Powers on successfully and passes all primary BIOS hardware checks. The internal hard drive is healthy and fully operational; the system successfully loaded and executed a clean Windows XP system shutdown routine (as shown in the diagnostic photos).
•Keyboard & Cosmetics: Excellent cosmetic shape. The iconic ThinkPad keyboard is completely intact with no missing or broken keys, and the classic red TrackPoint cap is present. The hinges are tight and hold the screen securely. The original rubberized finish has been professionally conditioned to neutralize vintage stickiness, leaving a smooth feel.
•Power & Battery: Due to its vintage nature, the internal CMOS backup battery is drained, which prompts a standard, easily bypassed 0271 date/time error on a cold boot. Simply update the system clock in the BIOS to proceed. The main laptop battery is physically present but its runtime is untested; it requires being plugged into a standard IBM power adapter.
•What’s Included:
IBM ThinkPad X22 Laptop (Type 2662) &
IBM 16V 3.5A power adapter
Shipping & Handling:
