Cheap laptop...

superspunk

I'm looking to buy a laptop but one thats freakishly cheap cus i've spent all my money to go trailing in canada. Does anyone know of where the best place to look would be. Maximum would probably be around œ100.

It's really not a good idea to get a laptop that cheap, if it's possible at all, which I doubt.
If it costs that little, it will break.

Something like this, though keep in mind that it doesn't come with a power supply, and the battery may be knackered. Also the fact that it's the lowest of the low in terms of spec...

Really wouldn't advise it.

what are you using it for? I buy mine from a company that buys ex company stock. No frills IBM hardware at rock bottom prices. They tend to be built like tanks and do the jobs of word processing and other mundane tasks wonderfully. I cant remember the link so I'll post it when I find it

I wouldn't have put yours on anyway, on account of you being a n00b

You can find ex-army ones as well. They tend to be around your price range, and super sturdy (if just a little bit fat)

Yeah, thats what i'd be looking for if your talking cheap workhorse.
- And in 3 years time you can sell it on for nearly as much as you paid in the first place. (sod all...)

Gotta know what you're looking for, though. Otherwise everyone would do it.

er.....the tip?

who said i ever "liked" you...?

superspunk

Nobody did. In fact nobody asked for your opinion on whether you liked me or not. Whoever told you to just be yourself couldn't have given you worst advice.

The good news is that Jesus loves you, I on the other hand think you're a jerk.

Does it have to be a laptop? A desktop for this budget would be a far more viable option.

Look at;

this
this
and this

You can pick up monitor, keyboard and mouse from charity shops and probably all three for £10-£15.

That would be FAR FAR FAR better that a laptop for double the money, the last one there is pretty much as powerful as my pc which does everything I need
