Depends what the processor and drive setup the Cube is equipped with.
I'd say it's a decent trade if the unit has a floppy and 040 system
board. If it's an 030 Cube with or without an OD, I'd pass it up as
it's fairly easy to come by these systems, probably for less than the
value of the laptop.

I have an opportunity to trade a ThinkPad laptop

N1000 NextCube, complete with monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. The unit is in
good shape, and functions. I haven't had a lot of time to do research, so I
thought I'd ask the experts. Is this worth messing with? The laptop has
little value to me, and the shipping on the monitor (from Denver to Atlanta)
could be a tad painful. I'm not hurting for a NextCube, but it might be an
interesting item to toss in the warehouse until I get a house again.
The alternative is if there is a enough interest in the NextCube, I
would probably use as collateral in a trade for 1802 based gear, or perhaps
some S-100 (I recently acquired a SOL-20, and I'm thinking of looking for a
Tarbell DSDD controller to use in it, to talk to the two Qume DataTrak-8s
that are on my IMSAI).
