WTB: Laptop. Slow/Older one good. OR Desktop

Looking for a laptop.

Would prefer it to be faster than 1ghz, slower is ok. As long as it will run XP well.
256mb ram or more
30gig hd or more
cdrom

I’m sure someone around here knows someone with an older laptop kicking around. Lemme know what you have and how much you want for it.

It’s gotta be in working condition tho.

edit: id also go for a desktop setup if anyone has one

i got an older ibm thinkpad (needs a HD) has windows 98 on it a believe

i also then have a HP pavilion ze4300 which is almost new and fully loaded…

you can make an offer on the IBM if you want… HP i’d like $1000 as the receipt for it is over $2500

1.53Ghz Pentium
Dell Latitude D600m
New 40Gb HDD, replaced it in January
DVD -Rom
never dropped.

$1,100 obo.

Come to staples woodbridge on sunday, it’s employee disc day.
Sony FS550 1297 - 200 - 10% comes out to 987.30 + tx

This is brand new, with receipt and everything. May be an open box, and it highly depends on there actually being stock. One person has already expressed interest, but there may be more of these, I’ll know for sure thursday. Other than that I really really don’t think you can get a deal anywhere near this good anywhere else. I would buy it myself, but I got my Toshiba A70-DD1 for 450 bucks + tax again brand new.
I’m not actually making anything off this, since staples is non-commissioned and I can’t tell the cashier to collect a fee for me or anything like that, so if you like the deal, feel free to give me some monetary thanks :wink:

My discount works as follows: ONLY on Oct 2nd (sunday), 10% off anything, $200 off all discontinued laptops over $1000. We have more than just these, look around ur local staples, and ask which ones are discontinued. You can even buy them on the spot anytime before or ON oct 2nd (not after), then come to my store with the receipt to get your discount. You would be getting the discount as a refund ON oct 2nd, if you buy before, or you’ll just buy it at the discounted price if you buy on the day. The two stack, so if it’s over 1000, you get the 200 off and 10% off after. I made this as insanely redundant as possible, so everyone understands :smiley:

EDIT: This is NOT a GB, so plz, don’t have like 10 people coming asking for laptop hookups, my manager is gonna give me one hell of a dirty eye.

Ive got a Sony PCGZ1VA, Centrino 1.6, 1GB DDR, 60GB 5400RPM drive, 14.1 inch screen, cdrw/dvd, wireless, bluetooth, 2 batteries, weighs like 4.5 pounds with battery in it. Would be looking at like $950.

Your gonna need at least 512MB of ram if u wanna run XP

I run 256MB quite comfortably

Thanks guys, I’ll look into whats posted so far.
I’m only looking to spend around 600$ here (i probably should have noted this before), the comp is for my sister and I dont want to spend too much.

If nothing comes up ill look into one of these.
:slight_smile:

HUH?? wtf? XP suggests 128 megs as a minimum and can run on a system with as little as 64 megs (although not recommended)

Mike, if you get a slower computer, you can hit me up for XP (Barely Naked Edition) … it’s significantly faster than OEM XP, and will work better with slower computers.

A mod on my forum is selling a nice P4 system for a great price:

You could sell the watercooling stuff, or play with it… whatever :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m considering selling my P4 system.

P4 2.53Ghz
1Gb DDR ram
Asus mobo, onboard LAN
ATI Radeon 9000
Audigy SB 2
Western Digital 80GB HDD
Pioneer 16x Dual Layer DVD-RW
LG DVD-ROM

I’d sell this system for about $700. Just bought the Pioneer DVD burner, and sticks of RAM.

Will throw in a Compaq Pentium III, 900Mhz, 20GB simple desktop system as well. Running Windows XP. It isnt a gaming machine or anything, but does day to day tasks, word processing, internet, email, mp3s, video.

Come on. 2 PCs for the price of one? I must have suffered brain damage.
