Laptop help!


Ok so I NEED a laptop, not bothered about anything but all I want is a USB port and ethernet thing and it has to cost £100 or less. Don't care about how fast it is or anything at all! Don't care if it's used either as long as it works!!

So please help me, want it ASAP

Cheers

Re: Laptop help!


Laptops have dropped in price big time....My best best is to check out some refurbished stores in some student uni areas - or check out Micro Mart (or summat - can be found in newsagents).

If you are willing to take the slow performance, go for it

there is no cdrom or floppy, so you'd either have to copy file over the network or get an external cdrom drive.

Re: Laptop help!


Here try this one, 1.5 ghz, its good for not needing a fast one, 40gig hd good for every day use, 14.1 inch screen, Refurbished, Intel Pentium 4-M pretty good... 512 MB ram, wont be too slow at every day programs like word and email checking, DVD-ROM, so you have a little extra to do. 10/100 LAN Card, Modem, Operating System, USB, WiFi Enabled

Everything you need!

Re: Laptop help!


Do any of the freebie sites do Laptops?

The reason I ask is that my Dell Latitude hasn't joined in with the Xmas spirit. Well, more accurately, it couldn't withstand a slight injury caused by my good lady - came in drunk from office party....laptop on floor....

You know the rest, the result being a smashed screen

Not quite so bad since it only cost me £75 as a throw away from work but still need to replace it.
