Need some help.. to buy or not to buy?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

I've got a question and I need some opinions. I am fairly up-to-date on current laptop options and prices, but I am not so sure when it comes to used laptops. A friend of mine is going back to Korea in a week and he is selling off a lot of his stuff. One of such items would be his laptop. I need some help deciding whether or not I should purchase this and if so whether or not it's a good price.

The computer is by some company called KDS? I've never heard of them before but the laptop does not look bad.

Important specs:

933mhz Intel P3

256mb of Ram

Built in Trident something or another graphics card

20gb hdd

14.1 screen

It's pretty small and light overall

Will come with linksys pcmia wireless card

Had a CD-drive not sure if it burns or plays DVDs.. I don't really care about that for the most part

He got it probably sometime in late 2002. Let's assume it's in fine cosmetic shape and the battery holds decent charge and there's no secret problems with it.

What would you guys pay for such an item? He is looking to get $300.

Looks good but don't expect to be able to play any games with that Trident chipset.

oh yea I definitely wasn't looking to game on the machine.. lol other than perhaps some flash games or something. Just wanted something to use WiFi on campus with and perhaps link up to the stereo system or mount in my car somehow :-P

300 is extremely cheap, just dont tell him that

Would seem a bitharsh o do to a friend. But still, I'd probably do the same in your situation.
