Which Laptop?
What do you mean by cheap?
I will have a think about it, I need to find the PSU for it anyway and confirm it is mine to sell! If it is fully working conditition I would hope for £70 for your price + some postage, I could get more on ebay.
It's not very good Steve since the screen is 12.1" and DSTN (very slow response rate) although it's usable for office products and the internet etc. I am just being honest.

All I want is a laptop that can be used for the net, for copying CDs and for the odd word processing document. Would it cope with that?
No, no CD-RW and I doubt it's got the speed for an external one.

Steve, the laptop I am selling is of a VERY different spec to what you require.
Pete, you're looking at laptops for £440 with a spec nowhere near mine, remember the spec of mine allows you to use it for practically everything.
The price I will ask for it depends on how Gericom return it to me, so I have to wait and see.

yea, but i dont have a lot of money, the only way to afford more would be to pay over 2 months
Well, this is the spec:
P4 3.06ghz laptop with hyper threading, 1gb RAM, 60GB HDD, Geforce5600go 128mb, 1400*1050 high res 15.1 screen, with wireless, DVD+/-RW, 4 USB, firewire etc.
Right now, dodgy paint finish on palm rest, zero battery life and broken PSU or PSU socket. Hopefuly some of those issues will be solved by Gericom.
I expect if all fixed inc. new battery (yeah right!) £500, battery not fixed but everything else, £450, if only PSU socket fixed leaving ugly paint and no battery, £400.
The amusing thing is, that's "only" £200 or so more than you were looking at spending on a 6-7 year old laptop, however, it will give most desktops a run for its money, play all modern games, allow CD/DVD copying etc. etc. but if that's not your thing, there's no point considering paying a few hundred more.

A P500 or so is about 6-7 years old, isn't it?
Anyway, I am sure we could sort out a two month payment or whatever, I would prefer it to ebay and I very much doubt you would dare rip me off ANyway, I don't know how Gericom will be returning my laptop to me (if at all!) so just got to wait and see.
My sort of laptop would mean little need for a desktop for at least a year.

My first laptop was a P120 panasonic toughbook, 48MB RAM upgraded, my first PC was a SX25 with 8MB, upgraded to SX33 for £12, CD-ROM and soundcard later (double speed) for £50, wow! However, the P120 did internet etc. as much as I needed at the time, I am a big fan of people only buying what they need.
I am sure I can tempt you when I hear from the gerries
