178183 2003-09-30 08:26:00 If they want to sell a laptop they will allow it to be tried. They usually reload the OS on them anyway before the demo ones are sold.

You will need to plug in a real mouse for the game.

Those laptops have almost every connection known:

USB
Firewire
LAN
56k
IR
Parallel Printer
TV Out
Monitor Out
Audio in and out
Serial RS232
PS2 Keyboard/Mouse
Mini PCI slot
PCMCIA slot

178184 2003-09-30 08:33:00 the list on the website mentions no tv out?

mouse and keybouar dwouldnt b a problem as lots of laps take usb and mouses are usb and keyboards too...

there was one other thing...demo ones 2 be sold...can we refuse a demo and demand a brand new one outta the box? as hes had a demo computer once and it caused him so much sh*t with wanting to return for a brand new as it wasnt working correctly etcetc...

178185 2003-09-30 08:59:00 It would be a surprise if it never has a SVHS TV out connector.
Its the same looking platform as the 4315, 4316. They all have TV out.
They have 2 USB ports (not sure if USB 1 or 2) as well as a PS2 port. You can use PS2 keyboard and mouse (using a Y adapter) or USB keyboard and mouse. The on-board trackpad is good, has a scroll pad as well.

As to the demo being sold, not sure what you mean?

They won't want to sell you the demo, as that means they have to set another demo one up.

Unless that demo one is only one left in the area, and you wanted to buy it you wouldn't be offered the demo.

Actually, some people do want to purchase the demo appliances/computers etc, as they at least know it works and has been "burnt in", but thats a different thing altogether, its a choice that the customer wants.

178186 2003-09-30 09:02:00 ur answer after "demo being sold not sure what u mean" was what i actually ment...as once he got told to take the demo comp for $500 less which was reasonable i thought but it caused him so many problems he wanted it replaced to a "brand new in box" computer...and gave them the $500...but took nearly 5 months to sort it out...
thats why he was wanting me to ask if its not going to be "forced" on him to buy a lappie and its a demo version..like its been used on demostration..

so yeah if it was the only one left he'll just make them order it in or go somewhere else..

178187 2003-09-30 09:13:00 Noel Leemings give you a brand new laptop in a box etc. they don't give away the demo ones. Trust me, we bought Sony Vaio laptop from them 3 weeks ago.

As far as games go on a laptop, it isn't the best idea I've heard of. Limited upgrade possibilities, and not the best video cards.
