Consider getting a new one: You can get a new 1.7 GHz Centrino widescreen laptop at Source for $599 (Acer TravelMate 2428 WXCi) with all in one printer/scanner/fax, webcam and Word Perfect Office (mail in rebate for the extras). Nice biz notebook with 1 year international warranty.

The same laptop is $599 at Staples/Futureshop. Staples has online coupons for $50 off.

I got lucky and was only charged $470 for mine (new sealed box). The review I wrote will be up on www.notebookreview.com next week.

It needs another 256 MB ram, but that is it.

If you can't spring the extra cash use this as a guide. Some people are asking silly amounts for 3-4 year old notebooks. Under 1 Ghz should be $200 tops.

Ryder surplus computers in the NE had 1.3 Ghz Compaq EVO 610C notebooks last week for $375 with Win2000. Very nice and clean and they all had brand new batts.
