WTB.....Laptop

As the title suggests, I'm chasing a cheap laptop...(or giveaway)...

My cpu is old and prehistoric (still uses serial mouse and keyboard), and takes forever to do anything...

I'd prefer a laptop due to other reasons (ie. tuning car and stuff).

Anyone help??

Not a fan of ebay, so that's not an option for him plus this old thing would shut down before we bid......Miss gsr

Perhaps give a figure that your comfy with so everyone can keep a look out for you in that range.

they are that cheap for a reason

as soon as big w started selling acer's for under $800, we (alphawest) pulled out of our warranty arrangement for laptop repairs.

and yes they do break.
