A friend of mine is looking for a decent laptop, but with her budget in mind ($400-$500). Here's what she's looking for:

- It needs to be at least 450mhz or faster
- have a battery with a decent "life"
- laptop must be in good condition (no dead pixels, not much, if any physical marks, etc.)
- must have cdrom, floppy (both can be removable, do not have to be built-in)
- must have touchpad

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head right now. Let me know what you have, she is wanting to use this for school, so I'd like to get the laptop for her soon.

One more thing -- the laptop can't have a bad/non-functioning LCD or anything like that (missing keys, etc.)


---------------------------------------------------------------

The second thing I'm looking for is a 40gb 7200rpm ide hdd for at most, $35 shipped. Let me know what you got on this as well.


Feel free to bump! :)
