Hello.

I was wondering cos my brother seems to be on the computer all the time and I don'r particulally have time to go on it!

Do any of you good guys know any really cheap laptops (link if possible) or any good second hand laptops.

Or do any of u have old laptops and maybe we could discuss!

Hehe, I have a similar problem. When I am in the computer, usually simming, my brother comes and wants the computer for some reason. So I have 15 minutes to do whatever I'm doing and then I have to give it to him. We have more than 2 computers at home but he always wants this one 😕 It's the best computer we have and he wants to see his Fifa 2006 players look realistic with the quality of the graphics.

Anyway, my dad is gonna buy me a laptop so I can use it to study. I don't know exactly which laptop is it, but I'm gonna look for it and let you know later.

Well, I can't find the laptop my dad is gonna buy me, but I'd recommend you to buy a Laptop with an AMD processor with a speed of more than 2.0 GHz, with more than 512MB and a graphics card separated from the motherboard. If you get a laptop with the specs I gave up, you'll have a pretty nice laptop.

hey,

i've recently purchased the inspiron 6000 - has been great so far. Runs smoothly, yet to have a single glitch.

ll that regognize me. I am back! I have been away.

Anyway, I just bought a laptop. It is exspensive though. I know you were asking about something cheap. My point is it runs flight sim, call of duty, BF2 etc.

It is a sony Vaio p560 1.83 gh, 1.5 ram and a nvidea go 6200 128 graphics card. Oh yeah! The processor is Centrino.

Yes, sure 😀

I need to go to my other computer so answer your questions because I have the panel installed there. I'll send you the panel through Yousendit.

👍 Good to see you back Elkinallen, nice laptop. I've been looking at some, not to run games but just the net and to play gin rummy ( I'm hooked on it).
All the (user) reviews of them I read make me afraid to buy one. Acer looks good though.

Thanks for the welcome back Augus and RadarMan. Very nice. Yeah. The laptop scene is really growing. I use it a lot for multi-media and such. This one that I have really is a good one. EXSPENSIVE though!!! 2 grand!!! 😳

I used to have the same problem with my parents and my sister, they all wanted the computer. For my birthday, I got a Compaq Presario SR1630NX and it works pretty good with the sim.

I think it comes out in January(but I'm not sure), MIT's $100 laptop comes out, here's what the MAXIMUM PC magazine said about it:
"The brainiacs at MIT are working on a Linux-based $100 laptop with a 500MHz processor, 1 GB of storage, and a 1MP digital camera. Like AMD's PIC project, it's aimed at kids and third world wannabe netizens. The prototype notebook is ruffed, enabled with Wi-Fi and cellphone technology, and creates a mesh network with other nearby machines when turned on."
