Laptop for my girlfriend, Need some serious help

post_break · 25-July-07, 11:24 AM

Ok guys I want to buy a laptop for my girlfriend since it is her birthday next month and Im hoping someone on here can show me where to look. Im looking for something cheap, and I mean cheap! She is using a dell that is so slow internet explorer takes minutes to load. Rep will be handed out to anyone who tries at this because I dont know where to look other than the standard websites. Looking for something like $200-$300ish. Thanks in advance!

For that price range, eBay and Craigslist.

anytime, it took about 20 mins, and i kept finding more, but like spectrunm said, ebay, would beat about anything in that range, but real good laptops normally dont hit ebay for cheap...

I got that acer 3680 at walmart for $398. It's a great buy but mine came with 512 mb memory. Vista is nice so she'll like that. The screen is awesome tho, has this dark mirror thing that looks great and bright. It's really lightweight and thin. If you want i'll take pics. lmk

I second that, however one BIG warning. Read the Description carefully! Most lappys I saw had a bad battery. A new battery costs anywhere from 40 to 120 bucks, depending on where you get it from.
