Default Can anyone tell me?????

I have no idea if this is a good buy but i need a cheap lap top, i know their's no battery for it so would it still be worth that amount?

I wouldnt Bother Mate.... Laptops are cheap now, spend the extra and get a decent one.

That one is seriously old and the spec of the processer is very poor.

To tell the truth mate, i wouldnt bother getting any laptop. They arnt very reliable....in my opinion.

Depending what you want to use it for, id just buy a desktop computer.

But i agree with Ebonycossie4x4. if it must be a laptop get a new one, theyre cheap enough.

WTF are you on about? Laptops are just as reliable as desktops, its what mongs do to them that make them unreliable!!!





However the one in the ebay ad is a scam. Works great......no battery so cannot be properly tested! So what exactly works then rofl

I bought a brand new laptop a couple of months back, it had nothing installed on it and it wasnt connected to the internet and it was slow as fuck, you cant say that it was my fault that it was slow, id only just bought it.

Im not trying to say theyre bad, i just personally think theyre unreliable and prefer desktops.

Nothing installed at all? Not even an OS?

My company runs over 10000 laptops across our employees and students and we get no more trouble than our desktops.

Laptops are only shit if poorly specced or poorly used, same as a desktop

It had vista installed on it....i mean that could have been it but it was brand new, only a couple of months old, like i sed. I know countless people who have had laptops and theyve all gone tits up sooner or later.

Ive had my desktop for about 4 years now and the only thing that ive had to do to it is change the power supply.

I dont no, maybe i just have a shit laptop, but either way i dont like them very much.

I wouldn't buy that, simply for the fact of the mongaloid that wrote the description in the auction!
