Cheap re-conditioned laptops
 

Does anyone know anywhere that does older cheaper laptops? A relative who is not that computer literate just needs a machine to run explorer, word and other basic programs but dows not need DVD/CD-RW etc. She would like a laptop but does not need to or want to pay a lot for it as she does not need the speed and specs of modern laptops.

Any Ideas

Buy the cheap-ish weekly magazine 'Computer Mart'. It's mostly ads for for PC & component sales mobs. There's always a bunch of them in there who focus on 2nd hand/recon laptops.

I think the magazine is also online.



Correction! The magazine is 'MicroMart'. Been a year or so since I was last in the UK & saw the magazine...

In the UK try this

Morgan computers

Good, cheap, but not always up to date

Morgan Computers are regular advertisers in Comp. Mart.

Correction: The magazine is 'MicroMart', not
Computer Mart. My error.

Ebay!

now ill just waffle on a bit so that it will let me post it, just be careful on ebay, im sure your not thick, just be careful!

Also this company, they have the sole rights on reconditioning all Fujitsu Seimens computers in the UK. There's come with a Gaurantee.

Buy 24/7

Thanks all for the suggestions, however having had a look at the sites they are still too high spec for my relative. Literally all she needs is a CD drive and a bit faster processor and modem.

Is e-bay the only way to go?


I would also want it to be cheaper - i.e. less than £200.

I'm pretty sure you'll find something to suit in MicroMart. There's always loads of cheap & cheapish stuff in there.

Field Electric From around £50 up.

Mike, there's a much easier way...! :8

Click 'color', pick one, hit 'space' then 'enter'. Job done. :8
