[WTB] ThinkPad of fairly recent vintage - $400 - $450

My wife currently has a ThinkPad T42p as her "daily driver". Great machine and still chugging along, but not quite as fast as we'd like it to be. So I'm going to upgrade her. It's a semi-surprise. This is a "Christmas" gift, so no hurries.

Here are the requirements:

- It must be a ThinkPad. Either IBM or Lenovo is fine. Please don't bother trying to talk me out of that.
- 15" or larger screen preferred, although 14 is OK if it's a high resolution screen.
- Vertical pixel count must be over 959. I prefer higher resolution screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio, but very high res 16:9 or 16:10 screens are fine. This is a VERY important factor. So please don't bother with a 1344 x 768 or 1280 x 800.
- Dual core (Core 2 Duo) or better.
- Like to hit at least 2.4ghz, but there's some flexibility there
- 4gb or more memory (or at least capable of being upgraded).
- at least 120gb hard drive space.
- must be in very good physical condition and clean
- Wifi (prefer n, but g is fine)
- A/C adapter

Like to have:

- SSD (slightly smaller than 120gb is fine)
- Bluetooth
- port replicator
- discreet graphics
- "p" in model name

Stuff I don't care about:

- Optical drive
- camera
- battery life (as long as it can last 1/2 hour or so). It never travels or runs unplugged
- mouse or keyboard.
- OS (I have my own license for Windows)
- recovery media / partitions
- cellular modem
- fingerprint reader

I'd like to be in the $400-$450 range, but am flexible on either end of that for a good deal. I prefer PayPal, but have flexibility on payment. This will be shipped to ZIP 80202.

Let me know what you've got!
