WTS Gateway laptop

vf1000ride · 07-April-06, 05:59 PM

Hey everyone. I have found I don't have as much use for my laptop as I would have thought so it's going up for sale. It's a Gateway 5300 solo. (specs below) Laptop works great and has been one of my Folding@home rigs for a while now. Has a legal copy of windows 2000 that I purchased the computer with and it has all current updates. As to condition, the screen is 100% no dead or stuck pixels and backlighting is nice and bright. Keyboard and touchpad look as good as new. Ok so here are the only bad parts. The top lid and underside show a little wear from being in and out of a carry bag. No scratches just the paint is slightly worn. In the top view of the lid you can see them, they look like fingerprint smudges. Second thing is the battery, comes with one, but it don't work.

Sold pending funds. Bouve124 pm'd me and has first dibs at this point.

Wooster241, just to answer your question and so other people will know also. Yes, it has 2 of the pcmcia slots so you can add a wireless card to it if you would like.

Sold to Bouve124. He was close enough and we met up and traded in person.

Thanks to everyone that looked in and to Bouve124 for the purchase. Hope you enjoy your new lappy.
