Luke Rainbird Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 May be no use to you, but I might be looking to sell a 6 month old Dell Vostro laptop shortlyCore 2 Duo 2.0 GHz Dual Core processor (effectively a 4Ghz processor or therabouts due to the dualcoreness, and everything with 'core' in the name is better - think hardcore, metalcore, nerdcore etc)2Gb RAM (DDR2 SODIMM I think)120Gb or so HDD15.4" widescreen TrueLife monitorCard reader (SD etc 5-in-1 job if I remember correctly, I've used it once to grab snaps from a camera and that's it)9 cell battery for uber long life (get about 5+ hours battery time from a charge)Think that's most of the spec - all pretty good and is more than enough for Photoshop, and I've played a few games on it which all ran fineIt has a standard Vista install on at the mo, but I could probably chuck on a copy of XP if you'd preferNot sure what I'd be after for it, but it'd be less than £400 Give me a shout if it might be helpful - it's currently a spare as I've got another laptop now so this is going un-needed - would do it cheaper for a TF hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
