WTB Cheap Laptop

Bouve124 · 12-February-08, 04:57 PM

It's been a long time since i posted anything on the forums, but I'm in need of a cheap laptop and i figured I would ask here first.

What I'm Looking For:

1. Price Range $300 - $500
2. Has built in WiFi
3. Nothing smaller than a 15" Screen
4. Good Battery that holds a charge.
5. CPU and Ram isn't really important as long as it can run XP well.

This system is just for my girlfriend to use around the house for web browsing and nothing more. (She killed the old crappy laptop I bought from "vf1000ride" on here a long time ago. hehe)

Bouve@ptd.net or PM works.

Thank You in Advance.

How about a Dell Vostro for $399 with free shipping?

I second the vostro. A friend of mine bought one and its a good laptop for the price. Kind of a sleek look in person as well.

I was impressed on it's performance for that price.

hehe good thinking guys... I'm actually using a vostro 1700(xmas present from work

) to write this. I didn't even think about lookin at new systems. I'll check out the low end vostro and see what i come up with.
