PROBLEMS
-------------

- No bag
- No charger (£45 from Compaq, £10ish on ebay)
- No serial port

HONEST SUMMARY
-----------------------

This is a good workhorse laptop, however it is not a gaming laptop by a long way (due to the weak graphics system). It is a little on the bulky and heavy side.

It runs office/work/dull applications however exceptionally well. It has roughly 2hrs battery life in normal "on train" use, and can last for the length of most non-LOTR length DVD's on batteries.

It is Linux friendly, and I've had everything but the built in 56k modem running fine under it (including the 3d graphics, after about a day of actually hacking the driver code :/).

Two previous caring owners :).

WANTED
-----------

I want £300 for this laptop. This price is non-negotiable. Failing to reach this price will result in it going to another good home. i21 delivery prefered, but will courier at your cost.

Selling due to buying a new shiny toy :)

[Pumpkin]

After consultation, Groodles now has first refusal at i21.

If anyone else is intrested, get in line :)

[RK[CLL]]

still interested - still trying to get hold of my sister(due here today - will let u know if I;m in or out by end of day!!)

[Strych]

I am also interested, as I need a laptop badly :/

[Pumpkin]

Given Strych's contacting me on IRC, the refusal order now looks like :

1 - Groodles
2 - Strych
3 - RK

:)

[RK[CLL]]

is this still available?? cos I'll have to get the money from my sister this weekend if it is

[Pumpkin]

Because you were slower in coming back to me than you promised RK, I'm now taking it to i21 to offer it to the following people in order.

1.) Groodles
2.) Strych
3.) You (RK)

The first one on the list that wants it will get it.

[RK[CLL]]

[Strych]
