[FOUND] Netbook/small laptop

[Rob_B]

Since I'm now working away from home (boooo!) I'm currently travelling with my works Dell which is a big heavy thing that I rarely use. As such I'm after something lightweight to take way with me.

I'm not after anything fancy, I'd consider a netbook although would prefer something that could actually open more than 2 tabs in Firefox

HDD size not so much of an issue, would like dual core, would like at least 10" + screen (14" max) and a decent keyboard with trackpad but I'm fairly flexible.

Budget...As low as possible please, I don't have much spare cash at the moment

Cheers folks!

Rob

Any chance you have more specs?

Gamesaregood - bit over budget thanks though.

sorry ive not got back to this thread, been working and the internet in these apartments is flaky so i've barely been on apart from on my phone.

How is the battery life on the PB filbert? I've read that new its a couple of hours? sounds sorta what im after though!

[filbert]

Yes the old one only lasted 10 minutes, so I bought a new one and to be honest I've not really timed it, but it's not long like the small netbooks, around 2 hours sounds about right.

I've got a Lenovo T60, 2Ghz Dual Core with 2gig ram. Currently running windows 7 and it really has no issues multitasking. Its a 10" screen and rather light (i've been known to wander the house with it just in 1 hand, so no real concerns on weight)

Looking for about £120ish for it if interested

[Rob_B]

Any more specs ?

What's the coa, win7/vista/xp ?

[Arthran]

COA is XP, Battery is in good condition.

Processor is a Core Due T2500 (2Ghz Dual Core)
2 Gig ram in a single stick, So expandable.
Ati X1300 Gfx (shockingly not too bad)
60 gig Disk (55.7 Formatted ofc)
dvd reader/cd writer
Wireless has no issues

Only issue with it is the "generic" charger hasn't been fully tested. My Work laptop is the exact same model, so I've been using the work's official Charger rather than the Generic I was given with the Laptop. Official ones are £17 on ebay, unofficial are about £5-10.

Anything else you'd like to know?

[Rob_B]

Sorry for the delay again guys :/

Arthran - You said 10" but the T60s seem to be 14/15" ?

Filbert, hows the condition? Any chance of going sub £100?

[filbert]

Condition is good, some scratches on the lid, it's aluminium I think with a rubberised cover, it's not plastic.
The battery cost me £25, might drop a little
