Second Hand Laptop Price Guide?
My friend has been offered an IBM laptop
It an ‘IMB Thinkpad X21’ and is very small! It has a docking station with a DVD drive and floppy built in, it has a P3 500mhz cpu and 383mb ram (well that’s what windows says anyhow!) there is a 20gig hd And it seems like it’s in good nick.
The price is £300 plus the VAT what do you reckon folks?
try looking on ebay just for price comparison ie http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...705579996&rd=1
good call, will check em out
Laptops seemed to have dropped in price recently a lot. You can get brand new ones which will be much nicer then P3 500 MHz for around £500 or £600 pounds even in PC world.
yeah that was what i was thinking, it seemed a little high priced, its coming straight from IBM aswell
IBM laptops are not cheap at all ! I have thought about it and an less there is no possible way for you to spend £500 instead of £300 then a budget new laptop is the only way to go.
i bought a toshiba satellite, 550mhz celeron, 32mb ram, 24x cdrom, and a few other things into the bag not long ago for 150 quid
not sure if its a good deal or not, i got it second hand, and was quoted 45-an hour battery life, only gives me 15-20 mins tho :(
your gonna need some more ram mate..Quote:
