Welcome to ELC Audio Engineering. Please read the description carefully before offerding. In case you're curious about our username (tungsten*ware), here's the short version: I live on Tungsten Drive, and this connection is not a coincident. Tungsten, known for its remarkable properties and versatility, finds extensive application across various industries, ranging from manufacturing and construction to electronics and healthcare. See footnote [0] for more info on tungsten.
As with all of our listings, we do NOT use stock photos or canned descriptions [1]. I've noticed other sellers using our headlines, descriptions, and photos, but these are ELC's original descriptions and photos. What you see in the photos is exactly what you're offerding on. Photos are an integral part of our descriptions: PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS CAREFULLY. If something isn't clear, please ask before you offer. Please read the description carefully so you know exactly what you are offerding on.
Shipping: International buyers must choose 's International Shipping Service. Note: does NOT automatically adjust for the shipping cost of combined items. If you purchase multiple items that can be combined into a single shipment, please request an invoice so I can combine items to save you money. We charge for actual shipping only (i.e. no added fees) using 's shipping calculator. Please read [2] for additional shipping info.
With very few exceptions, we do not accept returns. Read [3] for further details regarding this policy. Nothing in this listing is misleading--check our response as a seller [4].Many thanks for keeping a positive buying and selling experience!
This listing is for a unique Lenovo ThinkPad P52 with all the high-end features plus professional engineering software licensed exclusively to this machine's ID / HW fingerprint. This laptop computer was assembled (or configured) during or around 2021 to mimic industrial computers located at manufacturing facilities in China and Hungary. By virtue of this "industrial clone" computer, troubleshooting, support, and script-writing could be done remotely. At the heart of this ThinkPad is an Intel Xeon E-2176M CPU running at 2.70GHz. Installed memory is 32GB ECC (Error Correcting Code) DDR4-2666 RAM, and the SSD is a Samsung NVMe M.2 with Lenovo's Windows 10 Pro for Workstations installed (also on the service partition). Note: Do not mix and match ECC RAM with non-ECC; it will either perform poorly or, at very least, you lose the ECC advantage.
Also built-in is the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 GPU, which works extremely well with the software and peripheral hardward we used (e.g., video inspection and surveillance equipment using NI LabVIEW Vision). Getting to the very important software, the LabVIEW installation leans heavily toward manufacturing software to include NI FPGA and reconfigurable IOs, NI Vision, SoftMotion, Robotics, Sound & Vibration, and statistical analyses and reporting via DIAdem (the ultra-expensive Professional version). Some, but not all, of the NI software actively licensed to this computer is shown in the slides. Note: The NI LabVIEW 2017 software is now past the purchased maintenance contract and, as such, cannot be upgraded (beyond drivers and service packs) without purchasing wholly new licenses--all at a cost of many tens of thousands of dollars! The license files are exclusive to this computer's hardware IDs; i.e., the license files are not transferable. It is best to keep a backup copy of the license files in the event Windows needs to be re-installed (or if you want to downgrade to Windows 11). Please view all photos, as they're better descriptors than my writing. Thanks for viewing! Buyer pays actual shipping on 11 lbs. A brief overview of the slide deck follows:01. Main image, capturing NI LabVIEW 2017 as its just starting. The software is licensed, but was never registered online (we stayed offline for a number of security reasons). If you get NI's update notifications, make sure they're not trying to sell you on more recent versions because that would mean buying all-new software!
02. Just a personal favorite VI for Sound and Vibration analysis.
03. This computer's UHD (Ultra High Definition) 3840x2160 display is very vivid. Note: This is a touch screen, hence its very glossy appearance in some of the photos.
04. After backing up all license files, Windows has been freshly installed using Lenovo's original Windows 10 Pro for Workstations package. As you can see, the new username is simply Lenovo ThinkPad P52.
05. The computer is very clean and was well maintained (keeping grime and dust out of vents). This is a USED laptop, and the top surface actually has a little more wear than what shows in the photo. It's really only the top that shows handling, and this is from having been carried in a protective case or padded daypack while in the field.
06. BIOS, clearly showing 32GB ECC RAM and the Xeon CPU.
07 thru 10. Example of HW (hardware) diagnostics; specifically video and graphics for these photos. This computer passes all HW diagnostic tests.
00. I'll return to images shortly. I have a slide (not uploaded) showing current price of NI's DIAdem software, which is included on this computer. This ThinkPad P52 has the Professional version, which is more advanced than the "Advanced" version. Lots of bells and whistles. Thanks for viewing!
Reminder: International buyers must choose 's International Shipping Service. Thank you for viewing!
I do not entertain best offers, nor do I end sales early. Item will be sold to the high buyer (heck, a single buyer might get a fantastic deal). Items not paid for after 72 hours will be re-listed.
[1] We do not "borrow" photos from other sellers, nor do we use 's database. Other sellers have used our photos (noting we have zero affiliation with those sellers), and why I have added the tungsten (atomic symbol W) coffee mug for personal identification. If sellers aren't using their own photos, then you really don't know the condition of what you're buying or offerding on.
[2] I pack items with great care--the same way I'd like to receive a delicate or valuable item. Akin to other sellers, we do not have control over shipping costs or carrier delivery time. Small- and medium-sized items will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Larger parcels will be shipped via FedEx Home or FedEx Ground. Unlike Jeff B, neither nor I operate our own shipping services--this means no "Prime", free, or overnight shipping (although we ship some items for free depending on size).
[3] Why we no longer accept returns: In a few unfortunate incidences, buyers with buyer's remorse had intentionally damaged perfectly good equipment in order to receive a refund. In other instances, buyers were simply incompetent: Equipment was damaged because those buyers did not know how to properly use or handle it; yet, they wanted refunds because of the damage they had caused. Bottom line: No returns! If the wrong item is shipped or if there is a gross oversight on my part, I will promptly refund or exchange the item and pay for return shipping. Please understand that what you're buying is USED unless it's clearly stated as new.
[4] I'm batting 100% positive response after nearly two decades of buying and selling on *. I kindly leave positive response for those who do the same. Prior to my current username, I had over 1500 combined selling and buying reviews with 100% positive response. *(I changed my username since re-starting on in order to reflect my current business.)
[0] Tungsten's excellent electrical conductivity and thermal stability make it a preferred material for electronic and electrical applications. Tungsten wires and filaments are commonly used in incandescent light bulbs, electron tubes, and electrical contacts due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain consistent performance. Because I’m an advocate of VT amplifiers, I'll add that large transmitting tubes have carbonized tungsten filaments containing a small trace (1% to 2%) of thorium. Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3,422 deg C, 6,192 deg F), lowest vapor pressure (at temperatures above 1,650 deg C, 3,000 deg F), and the highest tensile strength. Its density is 19.254 g/cm3, comparable with that of uranium and gold, and much higher (about 1.7 times) than that of lead.
