| 1440208 | 2017-10-05 00:21:00 | I have a friend who's struggling a bit and has no computer. I'm thinking of buying him this one (www.trademe.co.nz), which seems well spec'd for the price. Could I do any better without having to pay more? | Greg (193) | ||
| 1440209 | 2017-10-05 00:34:00 | An ex-lease i3 or i5 would have better specs for the same price, but it'll obviously also be older. Just a thought. A few places I can recommend for ex-lease gear, had good dealings with all of them at least once :) PB Tech - www.pbtech.co.nz Hungry PC - https://hungrypc.co.nz/ Laptopwholesale - http://www.nzlw.co.nz/ |

| 1440210 | 2017-10-05 00:43:00 | +1 for an ex-lease notebook. You should be able to get something with an i3 or i5 processor and a SSD for that money. www.trademe.co.nz Something spec'd like that would absolutely dominate the one in your link. I wouldn't wish a laptop with that spec on my worst enemy, it will run like an absolute dog. :2cents: Edit - that particular one in my above link is probably a pretty good option itself. |

| 1440211 | 2017-10-05 01:48:00 | Another +1 for an ex lease notebook. Definitely look for Intel, the AMD laptop chips are horrendous. | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1440212 | 2017-10-05 02:19:00 | Hmmm, I really detest end user HP stuff. I'd go with that Dell in the link...... |

Could I do any better without having to pay more? "CPU speed 1.4 GHz" Thats a spec from last century. :) as above, ex lease would be considerably faster & cheaper . Although chances are the batt would pretty tired , and make sure that ex lease actually has a valid Win licence (some dont) www.nzlw.co.nz |

| 1440216 | 2017-10-17 01:21:00 | PCTraders has some decent deals occasionally. At least they add a new battery. | the_bogan (9949) | ||
