WTB: cheap older laptops (or newer, if they're cheap ;)

Tandyman100 · 09-05-2010, 04:12 PM

Well, with machines dying left and right on me, I've decided (and my boss has told me) that I need a laptop. I'm looking for something in the <$30 price range, with a Pentium III being awesome, but I'll really take anything newer than a Pentium 133.

(My most modern machine right now is a Toshiba 75MHz Pentium laptop)

Why only $30, I doubt there is much if anything for that.

Here you go, not mine, but it is exactly what you wanted + more: 750Mhz, 128mb Ram, and a 10gig HDD, Windows 2000, $21.99.

And another: 300Mhz, 128mb, 5gig, Win 95, EXACTLY, $30.

Even Faster: 800Mhz Pentium III, 256mb, 20gb, Windows XP, $20.

aPanzerIV,

Good thinking!

The only problem is that shipping on a laptop is usually something like $20-30. It'll be nearly impossible to find one under $30 including shipping.

I really don't understand why you want such an old laptop though. Stop buying junk computers and save up to get something at least halfway decent.

Its also hard to find a laptop that old with a functioning Hdd.
