Dammit.

I see these on TM:

DELL P3 1GHZ- WIN2K-20GIG HDD INTERNET READY
C610 Intel Pentium 3 1GHZ / 14.1-inch XGA / 256MB SDRAM / 20GB HDD

Toshiba Satellite A10 Notebook

COMPAQ SUB NOTEBOOK P3 850MHZ - 20 GIG
Model N400C

Whats better? Or does anyone have anything better they want to sell. Better but CHEAP.

528815 2007-02-28 03:11:00 Personally I would go for the Toshiba.
Probably got the best specs of those you listed??

528816 2007-02-28 03:17:00 CPU: 2 GHz
Memory: 256 MB
Hard drive: 40 GB
CD / DVD: CD writer + DVD reader
All usual features e.g. modem, touch pad, 2 USB ports, power adapter, bag.
Runs Window XPHome.


I was inclined to go for reliable, well, considering budget, it doesn't have to be fantastic but pref no older than WIn2K, LAN capable.

528817 2007-02-28 03:22:00 Recommend Toshiba satellite dual core. Got one 6 months ago and really pleased with it. Pricing has dropped and readily available.
Battery life is better in latest model too.

Good luck.

I would love to sell you a Dell Latitude D600 for $650 (negotiable). I'm not sure if that's within your price range or not but they're great laptops.

Specs:
Pentium M 1.4GHz
512MB Ram, or 1GB for another $30
40GB HDD
DVD/CD-RW, or DVD-RW for another $30, or DVD-ROM for $10 less
Around 1:45 battery life depending on what you do on it
54Mbit Wifi
Carry bag + Power supply

I hope this isn't considered spamming, you did ask if anyone has anything they want to sell.
