My friend is SO ready to buy a laptop.
I've hooked him up with established traders on anandtech twice, and both times after a deal was closed, they've jerked him around/lied to him. we've been scoping out ebay and getting an idea of pricing/specs.
for 900-975, it should go something like this:
14" TFT or XGA
DVD anyspeed
366 or faster proc
4GB or larger HDD
128mb is good, 64mb is OK
flawless condition, especially the screen
battery life >= 2.5 hours
it must play fullscreen DVD flawlessly.
OS installed, prefer win98se
nic is a plus
no issues
and after we close a deal, the laptop must not suddenly be required to be shipped back to IBM because circuitry got fried, and the laptop must not suddenly be "oh crap" stolen.
he's ready to spend around 900-975 shipped based on specs. Email me, I will be dealing with you. we have paypal or money orders for established traders only. Thanks.
