I am considering Selling my gateway 400XL laptop.

2.4ghz P4  
512mb DDR  
40gb HD  
CDRW/DVD  
Floppy drive  
15inch monitor

Extras:  
CDRW/DVD drive  
Floppy Drive  
Palmrest with touchpad  
2 High Capacity batteries  
2 AC adapters  
Misc internal parts  
old Motherboard.

I’ve had the laptop for a while, and it’s probably best termed a desktop replacement. Overall condition is good, but shows wear on the top from being set upside down a lot. It works perfect, and will be formatted before being sold. I replaced the motherboard about 4 months ago because the original was acting funny. I also cleaned the dust out of the inside while I had it opened. It is on the heavy side, coming in at 7.5 lbs. And I should have the original manuals/CDs which would come with it as well as a COA for XP Home. No OS will be loaded unless I find the Original CD’s, then XP home will be installed.

Oh, and the batteries will last for 2.5-4 hours, depending on the type of use. Watching a DVD will usually get you through the whole DVD.

Only issues:  
Power plug is a little loose on the new motherboard. Still work fine to charge, and use, just have to get it into position first.  
case has scratches.  
runs warm like most laptops.

I am only considering selling because I have another laptop and do not use this one anymore. That being said, I’m in no hurry to sell it either, so lowballing is not welcomed. I would like to get $450 for everything, but am open to serious offers and will accept offers for just the computer as well.

I did look up the price of an internal wireless card for this, and one can be had for $15 on ebay, but that’s your choice.

ok, found the re-installation CD for the drivers, but not windows at the moment. I’ll see if I can find a copy of XP Home to install on here for the sale. Pictures will be up in a bit.
