Hey all,

I'm looking to find a decent laptop. I have a good desktop, so the laptop doesn't need to be amazing, but i would like it to perform what i need it to do.

I've looked on EBay for some, and i want to see if you guys have any or if you know of somewhere i can get one.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Haha buddy, need a bit more info that that!!!!

How much you want to spend?

Posted by: motoxer4533

hmmm.. i guess i could have included that lol. I dont wanna spend any more than around $800. I would be using it for everyday activities, taking it to college, and possibly light gaming. I have XP, Vista and Office, so i dont need any of that.

Thanks.

I have a Dell Inspiron 9200 (going on 2 years old in march) that I'm looking to sell soon.

I'm sending it in to dell to get a full diagnostics check so that it's working perfect when I sell it. Here's the specs:

Pentium M processor 1.6Ghz

1.25GB PC2700(?) I took out one of the origional 256's and put in a gig so now it has a 1gb and a 256mb (another 1gb stick is about $100)

60Gb HD

ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 - 128mb graphics card

17" 1440x900 display

Windows XP Home Edition

4 USB ports, Ethernet, Dial-up, headphone, mic, and I think 1 firewire (i can check on that)

CD/DVD combo drive (DVD player, CD burner) but I can throw in an external USB Dual Layer DVD/CD burner combo for $50 (cost me $80)

Battery is the lesser one (standard one) and lasts about 3 hours with a movie in.

full warrenty until March or May '08 (can be extended after that)

Targus 17" laptop carrying case

I'm looking to sell it for around $700 (780 with the external DVD/RW) USD.
