Heatsink Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hi there, I'm looking for a laptop so I can keep onto of emails in the living room during the evening, rather than antisocially working on the PC upstairs We've only got a small living room, so a proper PC even with a flat screen would clutter it up. A laptop that can be folded shut and placed on a coffee table would be best. I've been searching for "Refurbished laptops" What would be great is it coming with a Wireless network capabilty, and even better if the card is fitted internally rather than hanging out the side. Spec wise, it doesn't need to be faster than 700Mhz, doesn't need any drives at all really. Swanky looking is nice, as is running an operating system better than Win98 such as Win2000 (as we currently have). Can anyone find a better deal than this one below, which is £264 with the 17.5% VAT added on (264 = 225 x 1.175) http://www.studentcomputers.co.uk/refurbis...-laptops-uk.htm It sounds like the network card would hang out the side for the one above. Is it possible to get them internally fitted since it certainly would be annoying having to unplug the card to store the laptop in a bag. I would always use it plugged into the mains rather than use it out and about. Thanks in advance, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Ive not reallly looked at second hand laptop prices recently but i dont think that laptop is worth that kind of money at all. You can get brand new ones starting at about £400 these days with much better specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on that? u must be joking Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 The 3com cards with xjack antenna store internally in the pcmcia slot, you just have to pop the antenna out to use it. 3com card Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
