[WTB] Your Laptop (Read for details)

[The Chemist]

Hey guys, I'm on the market for a laptop. I would prefer a macbook/pro but I'd be content with a PC as well. Laptop must be less than two years old, be in near mint condition (a few scratches will suffice), and have the following:

1) A screen between 13 and 15 inches
2) RAM of 512MB or more
3) A processor of 1.6 GHz or more (doesn't have to be dual core but would be nice)
4) Hard drive space of 80 Gig or more
5) Must be able to input Japanese Hira/Kata and Kanji (probably the norm but just checking)
6) Graphics card must be able to run low end graphic applications (Stepmania)
7) Must have a working battery that is replaceable and lasts AT LEAST ~2 hours
8) Microsoft Word WOULD be nice, but not necessary.

I'm looking with a budget of 450 dollars, but what Im willing to give ultimately depends on the laptop I'm being offered. As usual, I'll use pay-pal to pay. I will only do business with members with over 100 posts, a verified pay-pal account, an ebay account and/or positive marketplace feedback.

i imagine you would also want to put in something about a working battery because mine mostly fits the bill minus the fact that the battery lasts about 2 minutes

Can I replace the battery?

Thanks for mentioning that though

[bansatalus]

you could but a replacement battery for a laptop is usually going to run you upwards of $100

Maybe we can work on an agreement?

PM me pictures and details if you want to sell it, Im pretty interested

[bansatalus]

i am not like, actively looking to sell it, but I'll get you the info on it when i get home. honestly i'm not sure what the processor speed is. i know it's only a 60gb drive but if you really want the extra space, micro center has 8gb flash drives for $30 so you can get another 24GB for under $100 there, haha

[The Chemist]

Let me know dude

Oh, I actually found the power cord for the laptop I had in my selling thread.

I installed a legal, fresh copy of Media Center 2005 Edition (Shiny taskbar)

It's got a P4 3GHz, 512 of RAM ( not sure if it can be upgradeable but it's good enough for SM and low-graphics games, and a 75GB HD after Windows is installed.

DVDRW drive also.

The only requirement it doesn't meet is being 3 years old. However all drivers are readily available for reinstallation on Toshiba's site.

Otherwise it's in mint condition minus some barely noticeable light scratches on the front cover. Barely noticable.

Now the problem here would be that minus the RAM this is very much like any modern Laptop, so it's not gonna be cheap. I've also taken a fancy to it >_>

I would say 700 shipped, 650 local pickup.

If you're REALLY interested lemme know.

PS: Your choice of MS Office included lolol ;Da

You have a deal. Thinkpad? Is that the touch pad or?
