Anyone here able to point me in the right direction? It just needs to be a PC, about 500Mhz & have a 56k modem and have win 98 or 2000.

I'm going to get my folks online at Xmas - wish me luck!!!!

If you have an old one yourself that you want to shift, PM me.

the prob with old ones is the battery.
Dell do new ones under 500.

Have a look on ebay for compaq evo N400c, used with a multibay dock unit.
P111 700 Mhz, 250 Mb Ram, around £200-250, nice little laptops

I have been bidding for a few on e-bay, but I think the prices they go for represent terrible value when you cant get brand new Dell ones for £500 and the processor speed is in four digits. £250 for an old way out of date laptop with a tired battery? No thanks!

My folks may not like it/want it/be able to use it - so a £100 punt on something VERY non flash is all I would like to do.

paulr

then buy a new one say from dell for 500,sell it a month later on ebay for 400.

paulr

So thats 481 then........not 410 plus vat.

lightning101

And the difference is ?


£410 + vat = £481

Diesel

£100 pls
