Cheap Laptop

Looking for a replacement laptop, nothing fancy, decent screen (min 15"), near full sized keyboard, wifi b,g,n, decent battery life, family use only so no need to be over the top spec'd.

Nice to haves but not mandatory hdmi output, usb 3, built in Bluetooth, build in card reader,

  • How much are you looking to spend? i sell a lot of refurb lenovo so might be able to help.

  • Less than $500 range… the cheaper the better actually as the budget is tight this time of year :-)

  • Lenovo E530. Front page!

    The lowest end Core i3 version is $499 shipped. But, you'd be crazy not to pay a little extra and get the Core i5 plus screen upgrades. Very much worth it.

    • What he said. Looks good , i have laptops in the 150-250 range, with only bluetooth as your nice to haves

      • Where are you located Mikinoz?
        Is there a website for what you have (model, spec, price)?
        What is the cheapest model you will recommend for 1) with SD cardreader, or 2) without SD cardreader?

        • im in the Ryde/rhodes areas, sorry no website more of a hobby after leaving ibm.

          cheapest i have without is lenovo t61 without sd for 150 with sd is lenovo x200 for 250

          if either interests will list spec

  • Hmmm ,those sound like they could be an option Mikinoz..do you ship? I'm located in Melbourne.

    Also can you post/pm the spec sheets for what you have sub $300.

    Cheers

    • Hi Tooler, yes i do , although only through ebay so there is protection.

      Sub 300 is really where i find my nieche, i am at work so quickly here are the models (specs tonight when i get home)

      T61 $150 + delivery
      T400 $220 + delivery
      X200 $250 + delivery

      Delivery is $20.00 inc insurance

      I refurbish all machines i work on, which includes internal clean and inspection ie if i find a water mark i wont resell.

      I replace almost all keyboards with new genuine keyboards, all are reloaded like new .All machines are in exellent working condition unless noted.

      Thanks
