Hi,

Does anyone have an opinion as to if this is a bargain price for a 2nd hand, refurbished, laptop? Just after something to run DBP when I'm mobile...looks up to scratch. Not sure what gfx card that'll have, ATI Rage 3d jobby probably up to running DX9 though for sure...

Compaq Evo N600 (£400 - £450)
P3 1Ghz
256Mb RAM
20Gb
TFT Monitor - 1024x768
Windows XP.

Cheers in advance...

the only reason i would pay that is becuase i've been programmed to believe that Pentium Processors are better...
if i ignore my programming( ) then maybe $500

Hi,

I found new laptops at those specs on the web since, but for an extra 100 quid, but that'll get me warrantly etc. Hmm, I'll have a think...

Cheers for the feedback.
