Phoenix Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I finally think i found a laptop! Toshiba A85 S107 1.8Ghz, 512 RAM, 40GB HD The person wants 300 US for it but he said he would take 200 if someomne would just say they woyuld take it. He still has the origonal packaging and the recovery disks (it is loaded w/ XP) What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameman733 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I voted come down in price, i paid $550 back in november for my lappy, compaq V2402US, sempron 2800+, 256, cd-rw+dvdrom, wired but no wireless. Those specs are lower than mine and used to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degoba Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 if your going to buy a laptop i say spend an extra 2 or 3 hundred dollars. We sell toshibas in store, and i personally think they suck. If i had to direct my customers to any one brand i stear them to either compaq, hewlett packard or if they are rich, the sonys.

Jester Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I kinda like Toshiba they are pretty decent machine and for that price it wasn't too bad. I would recommend it. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I've tinkered with Toshibas before and didn't mind them at all. First thing to consider though: does it have built-in wireless? If not then you're obviously going to need a solid wifi card and that will cost about 50-100 dollars for a half-way decent one. I recomend the Orinico Gold. First thing you will want to do with that particular lappy though, install more ram. If you've got the money, I'd throw 2gb in there as soon as you have you hands on it. 512 is ok for normal, low resource using tasks but anything with photoshop or any video games and you're pushing the laptop quite hard.
