| 791672 | 2009-07-15 01:22:00 | I'm not very good at knowing how much laptops are worth, so can anyone tell me how much you think an HP dv5245ea is worth? The specs are: Intel Core Duo T2050 1.6GHz 1GB RAM GeForce Go 7400 And all the usual gizmos, wireless network etc. I am being offered to buy it for $200. Is that an OK deal? |

| 791673 | 2009-07-15 01:33:00 | For $200 you cant really go wrong - I assume its in full working order ? ( actually seen it running) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 791674 | 2009-07-15 01:40:00 | If you don't want it. I'll buy it. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 791675 | 2009-07-15 01:42:00 | $200 for a core duo with o/s?.....a steal! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 791676 | 2009-07-15 02:06:00 | Yeah that is the bargain of the century. I'd definitely test it before buying though. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 791677 | 2009-07-15 02:08:00 | My guess is its hot, They could sell it easily for a lot more money. Granted its an HP so that knocks a heap of value off it, but still...... |

| 791678 | 2009-07-15 03:18:00 | Brought it home and given two days to test it out. Any particular laptop test I should run? And so far the only thing I don't like is that it has a french keyboard layout - AZERTY instead of QWERTY and some buttons are different. It's been set up as a QWERTY keyboard but I don't touch type too well. And it's $70 for an English keyboard! |

Yeah you get that unfortunately. :( Grab some of those little dot stickers from paper plus or wherever, stick onto keyboard, mark with pen. Problem solved. ;) I'd grab an ultimate boot cd, run memory and hard drive diags, and get prime95 and speedfan, run a torture test and make sure nothing is melting. |
