WTB: Laptop decent specs...

[hoxie08 5,000+ posts]

Looking for a laptop for my sister to use in college. Need something halfway small, meaning 15" screen and below, let her carry around a 17"er and she didnt like it lol.

Looking to spend 250-300 but not sure what i'll find in that range.

Looking for broken stuff as well, since I've been workin on computers and networking for about 4 years now I'd really like to find something thats broken for cheap that I can fix myself also...

But, as I said, shoot me some laptops you have and specs, and we'll talk about price then eh?

Hoxie.

I have one I bought from my uncle a few months ago. Its a older Dell, running XP but their must have been some damage to it because the screen shows fine, and it boots up like normal until the main screen starts to come on and its goes blank.

You can still hear windows booting up and when you shut it down its the same thing. Its got some screen damage (I just assumed it was dropped) and a crack on it, but Im not sure im going to have the chance to fix it.

If you interested, I can take a few pics and make a short vid of it bootin up so you can see the problem. Just LMK.

I may have one I can sell. $250 shipped.

Everex StepNote NM3900W (Says NM3500W) :

15.4" Widescreen

60GB Harddrive

980MB RAM

64MB Video

Windows XP Professional

Built in Wireless

3 USB Ports

DVD+-RW (Drive is messed up.)

Scratched up, and has problems, but screen holds up perfectly, no dead pixels.

Has 'DD' decals on it. It's currently my work computer, so not so sure if I want to sell it or not.

So what do you mean by the problems, except for the DVD drive?
