Anyone want to buy a laptop?

[shingo]

I've got a mate whose looking to sell a virtually brand new HP Pavilion laptop. He bought it for his sister but now she wants a Mac :blink:

Specs are as follows:

2.1GHz dual-core AMD processor.

2Gigs Ram.

160Gig Hard-drive.

Dual-layer DVD reader/writer.

Gigabit ethernet card, and a built in wireless card.

15.4" widescreen.

Built in bluetooth.

Geforce 8400 graphics card, offering 256MB of dedicated RAM.

Built in Webcam

It also comes with a remote that can be used when listening to music/watching movies.

Its currently running Windows Vista Ultimate but my mate has offered to chuck XP on it if you dont like Vista

It looks something like this:

He's looking to get $1200 for it, if anyone's interested let me know.

How much was it new??

[shingo]

I think he payed a little under 2 grand for it.

I think he payed a little under 2 grand for it.

Dad just bought the exactly same laptop, paid about $1500 bucks.

Reckon if he drop it down to $1000 it'd be a good buy.

Do the specs of his match this one exactly?

Im not 100% sure on this price he paid, but i think the price he wants is fair considering they've had it less than a month and she never really used it.

I can get you a good deal on Macs......

prices may vary depending on specs Ewen usually memory and HDD size are different and warranty some come with 1 year or 3 years...you pay more you expect to get more....

I think the best price on this was around $1800 when I looked at it 3 months ago, so $2000 isn't out of the way. Vista Ultimate , webcam, dedicated graphics, the HP lappie I bought for $1700 doesn't have those.

Anything close to $1000 would be a good deal provided HP will honour the warranty.

[Real_Wolf]

being the nerd I am, its definetely worth $1200, assuming they keep vista ultimate.

Vista ultimate alone cost $300, with XP $1000 is a good estimate. The fact it has a dedicated 8400 rather than just on board graphics is also quite nice

[bomma]

could play decent computer games while at lectures!!!! :niceone:

[CB ARGH]

I'll give ya ten bucks and a 2 for 1 deal at mcdonalds.

[TOTO]

...2 for 1 deal at mcdonalds.


...for a year ?

[shingo]

...for a year ?

it'd have to be a 2 for none deal as well.

[motorbyclist]

a grand would fit nicely onto the course related costs....

though i'm not surprised vista drove her to mac:msn-wink:

myself i'm looking at buying as asus eeepc for checking email/KB etc when at uni and in the shed, plus i could use it to control robots rather than pissing around with chips and excess circutry:D

but for a grand, that hp does sound good...

[Slyer]

Eeepc's are fucking great.
This laptop is a good deal too.

[Real_Wolf]

yeah, vista is fine, but you have to know how to set it up. If you don't set it up, it just annoys the piss out of you

I have a install disk for Windows Server 2008 that I can lend to anyone who is interested - why settle for a $200 operating system when you can have a >$1000 operating system? ;)
