New old stock Green 753 Pentium (non-mmx) Intel Socket 7 laptop from the early 1990's. They are new in sealed mfr's boxes with manuals, 3.5" driver diskettes for Win 3.0/95 and a hard drive caddy. Also, the laptop has internal CD-ROM drive, 3.5" floppy drive and double PCMCIA slots (not cardbus compatible) and the ports are VGA, serial, parallel and expansion port. No USB ports! Box contents also includes a four pin AC adapter with 115 VAC cord plus a leatherette carry bag with strap. Un-configured laptop will need a Intel Pentium CPU (up to 200Mhz), additional 72 pin SODIMM FP RAM (has 8MB - max 40MB), a 2.5" PATA hard drive (8GB max without overlay software), DOS or Windows OS and the box does not have a main battery. Batteries not available from me. Laptop works on AC without main battery. These are in sealed boxes purchased from the service center when they sold off inventory.

Price is $75 each plus S&I. Total shipping weight is about 14 -15 pounds since it double cardboard boxed. I have several to sell.

I would like to have one. How do I go about purchasing one from you?

Thanks,
Mike
 
I'm looking into cheaper methods of shipping (vs. UPS/FedEx or USPS full priced rates) and will have pricing ASAP. I no longer get a corp. discount on shipping since I retired. Also, today is a super full day for me with meetings most of the day and well into the night) and so bear with me for a day as how to order. I have plenty of these NOS laptops plus I also have some remaining spare parts including damaged returned laptop sent to the ODM's service center that were replaced and not repaired. I also have plenty of extra NOS 4 pin AC adapters that these laptops use.
 
Yes I know shipping is super expensive. I can pay whatever as I'm used to it, so whatever you come up with just let me know. I'll keep my eyes peeled for your reply. I will definitely want one, maybe two of the NOS systems with TFT display. Also, do you have any of the docking stations that go with these machines? I'm in PA as well so shipping shouldn't be too terribly high. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Don! -Mike

I'm definitely interested in one of these at some point when I have the spare cash - I'd just like to know if you have any with TFT screens, and just how expensive shipping is going to be (which it seems you're sorting out).

Ill buy one right now
 
I'm using Pirate shipping. If anyone wants to order one please PM me with your zipcode and I'll quote the shipping cost. If I haven't responded to someone with a quote please PM me again since I think I've followed up with anyone asking for info or wishing shipping details. Payment via Paypal. Yes, the laptops have sound and two small speakers. Again, these laptops are products of the time and represent 1990's technology designed for DOS, Windows 3.0 and Windows 95, but Windows 98 (or 98SE) work too. Windows ME complains about memory, but does work if you add more memory. I've also used Windows NT/2000, I believe, but it's been way too many years since I was working with these on a daily basis.

I remember seeing if we could meet up a few months ago. Are most days free? I'm retired so other than some days when I meet up with friends I'm free to get together.

I'd love to have one, but my biggest issue is of course shipping, since I'm not even remotely close to the US.

Shipping international these days is crazy expensive. I wish I knew of a solution that was both cheap and worked. I believe there are companies in the USA that can arrange shipping, but I don't know of any, nor how they work. When I did have a business and shipped international orders so many packages disappeared in shipping or the buyer was hit with a large duty cost when the package arrived in country. Even shipping to Canada was so hard that some Canadians had USA mail boxes and drove over the border to pick up ordered items. It was a mess and that was almost 20 years ago and I believe things are worse today.

Alright cool. If there are any left in a couple months then I’ll probably buy one. Wish I could now but a Compaq LTE Elite 4/75 CX and a WinBook FX both showed up on eBay for prices I couldn’t refuse…

Most Days I can be free as I work from home. Monday or tues will be tough as I am bringing my car into the body shop, but I am getting a loaner for the next couple weeks.
 
I have started a new post under IBM PC, Clones and Decendants/Pentium (First Generation) with set up switch settings for the CPU etc. https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/green-753-laptop-cpu-setup-more.1245608/

I've got 3 laptops I'm working on at the moment, all are Green 755's. One is a generic Green 755, the second is a Micron VLX and the 3rd is a NEC Ready 120T (more or less). The NEC had a dead motherboard and I at first thought I could just swap in a spare Green 755 mobo and swap BIOS chips. But when I disassembled the NEC I realized that the NEC motherboard was a stripped down version of the other two. Yes, it was missing a few ports and many components. Since I had it apart I pulled the connector for one of the ports that prevented the generic board dropping into the NEC case (no hole for the connector) and assembled it with the generic Green motherboard. Swapping the BIOS chip and the NEC splash screen popped up. I'll need to see if I can fix the NEC mobo and put it back in, but for now I have three versions of the same laptop. I will need to take some photos and publish the results. OBTW, the Micron is black and the other two are gray. Plus some minor custom plastics on the NEC and Micron so as to customize from being just generic Green 755 as sold by many other smaller brands. Floppy and CD modules swap back and forth with ease despite some are gray and the Micron faceplates are black.
 
Hello, I am new, may I ask whats left? Might be interested in one. I have a Zenith Z-Star EX with not much luck on HDD replacement. Thanks.
