Hey my name is Courtney. I'm in 10th Grade at East Grand Rapids High school.I have long blonde hair, hazel eyes and im 5'7. haha. I love to snowboard, hang out with my friends, go to movies, work out, read, and I LOVE the beach. One thing I'd love to do more of is travel. Every summer I go up to my cottage for a few weeks, but thats about it. Feel free to ask me questions about anything and I'll do my best to help you. If you have any questions you don't want on here for everyone to see, feel free to I.M me (Blondebaby1016) or just e-mail me at Snowboardgrl08@sbcglobal.net . advice
I would like some advice on what to look for in a decent, used Laptop computer. I'm looking to use this for internet use, Word programs etc, and pretty light on the game play with a CD Rom and floppy. What is the price range I'm looking at for something very decent but also not new, because I only have about $350 max to work with.
Is it lame of me to think to find a good laptop on ebay?
If I try to find one on ebay, what specs should I look for? I'm not up on what RAM, ROM, is considered 'good', or anything about internet cards.
I was also told that laptops are basically useless, and that if I want a personal computer I should just get a desktop one. How true is this?
Is my search hopeless?
Thanks a lot to anyone who will help.
Its not really LAME to look on ebay for laptops, you've just got to be really careful about who you're buying from and stuff, otherwise if you're not careful you could get ripped off. I'd reccomend buying a dell refurbished laptop, I am not sure exactly how much they start at price-wise, but heres the link. http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/compare.aspx/inspn?c=us&cs=22&l=en&s=dfh&~ck=mn . My laptop I have is an Inspiron 2650, its held up pretty well. Ive had it for like 2 years. It has windows XP, DVD player, 256 MB and stuff like that. When looking for a laptop, try to get one with XP, and def. not anythings below 98. Also, the operating system of WINDOWS ME has NOT been a good system from what ive heard and it sucks. if you decide to not get a laptop, you can probably get an O.K desktop thats brand new, but remember you get wut u pay for. If you need more info just ask or im me. Sorry if that was confusing
