| Well I'm interested in getting a laptop but nothing special. It must be under 250 dollars and I have been looking on e-bay but Im just starting to learn lots about regular compters so I don't know much about laptops. It must have a DVD and be able to support some older games, nothing with high grapics quality. Can you please help me find something good, please. I like Buy It Now, if you help by looking on E-Bay  Thanks (edited by mvpo.geo on 05-20-04 05:39 PM) (edited by mvpo.geo on 05-20-04 05:52 PM) |

| 250...you probably won't find one with DVD for 250... I had a $200 laptop, its specs were p3-450, 2MB of video RAM, and 128MB of system RAM, 6gb HD, and no CD-ROM... if you want DVD, you will probably have to look for laptops at are at least Pentium 3 and 750MHz... |

| I'd suggest ya to pay a little more so: A. You could get a laptop with DVD, B. It could run those DVD without any chances of lag. |

| Just some tips, if you want to watch DVDs on it and have them NOT look like ass: 1) MUST be 500MHz or faster. If it's a Celeron, MUST be at least 800MHz. See #4. 2) MUST have at LEAST a TFT screen (XGA, SXGA, etc are good), NOT dual-scan or active matrix. 3) MUST have at least 128MB of RAM 4) MUST be an Intel P3 or AMD Athlon or Duron, or better. If Celeron, do NOT settle for less than 800MHz, and I HIGHLY suggest avoiding any Celeron system. 5) MUST have good batteries, if used, otherwise your DVD will cut out after a few dismal minutes because the DVD drive drains the battery rather quickly, and if its capacity is low, it won't last. 6) MUST have at least Li batteries, NOT Ni-Cd or another Ni or Cd alloy. Note #'s 5 and 6 only matter if you want to use it as a laptop. Of course, if you WANT a laptop, these SHOULD matter. Otherwise, buy a god damn tower, trendy bitches |

| okay, it's not a good deal and it's really not I mean if you want a cheap crap laptop then I guess it is but I wouldn't give that PC to someone I didn't like 6 gig harddrive ??? 600 Mhz processor ???? 192 Megs of ram ??? it probably barely runs Windows 2000 and it's so old, the battery probably doesn't even work any more not to mention I would NEVER buy a computer from someone that can't spell Norton / Office / or Windows or that makes up bullshit they expect me to believe about a computer being "HIGH PERFORMANCE" yeah.... 2 years ago.....

| Erk: If you look at how much used laptops actually cost, it's about the average going rate for one of that speed/size/generation etc. It'll play DVDs and any game like Diablo2 or older (which is what half the people here limit themselves to anyway). I see it having no problem running XP, my P3 500 laptop w/160MB RAM runs it fine. |

Originally posted by ErkDog For $300? I'd take it. Almost as good as what I have now, but in portable form. $350 for a laptop with DVD... DVD alone's gonna be most of that, and it won't be a real good one. |

| Um....on ebay if you would goto the cheapie dell section you could get a much better laptop for 300 bucks geez, im bidding on one for 240 or so with: Pentium 3 1200 mhz 512 MB of RAM 30 gig HD DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Its a used dell returned by the original owner theres a whole section of them, and you buy directly from Dell so they amke sure that the machine at least powers up and will install an OS. It really is awesome how cheap some of the C600 Dells are. (edited by mrmenz on 05-21-04 07:49 PM) (edited by mrmenz on 05-21-04 07:52 PM) |
