Hello,

I am looking to buy a laptop. The specs must be no lower than 1GHz, with 256MB RAM (256 must be one stick)- laptop needs to be in good working order

I am looking for this laptop for a nursing student who is stuggling to keep up with her courses- because of the lack of a computer. She doesn't really have room for a desktop. Seller must be willing to ship to Canada, and of course I will pay the fees associated with this [but if you want to help- I won't complain]- I'm really looking to be able to get this machine to her for Christmas.

My e-mail address is..well I actually don't have an ISP email address- so I hope my work one will be okay.
lcole@centerbeam.com - Although please contact me through PMs, as it is much more convienent for me.

Thanks for the help,

i cant help you... but it may help other people if you can give us a price range that you are looking to spend..

i have a hp pavillion ze1000 laptop... (thats what the bottom says)
but the top says pavillion xf335..
its a mobile athlon xp1400 1.3ghz?
256mb (shared) ram (one stick)
27.9gb hard drive (says windows)
DVD/CDRW drive
internal nic/modem. sound out/mic in. 2usb, 2pcmcia vga/lpt out

i use this laptop occasionally for work.. its in fairly good condition... a few scratches here and there, and a leftover silohette of a sticker on the top from previous owner. im sure i have the recovery cd around somewhere if you need it.. its retail, so its not a "real" xp home cd, but the retail XP Home sticker is still on the bottom...

the battery is a little strange.. sometimes it holds charge, sometimes it does not. when its on AC, it works fine.. i think it just doesnt hold charge if you leave it unplugged and not using it.. but it usually works fine when you are using it.

let me know if you are interested, and then we can work out some prices.

pm, or aim: darkness207.
if you want an isp email or something, too, let me know.

Thanks for the offer, but I need something with a reliable battery.

I thought I had posted a price range, my mistake- hopefully no more than 500USD shipped. If shipping makes it a bit more, than that is ok.

Interesting Thrasher...you are the man...I'll have to take a look at those...
