yu can use it in the car too.
Anything from free downwards
Dunno really, not got many options and need to get something that works. Refurbs start at about £120 which I've not got spare so need 2nd hand but buying used from folk you don't know is like asking for a beating......and giving them a stick to do it with![]()
We'll keep our ears open ...
depends on what you need it for, chromebooks, netbooks, tablets, lappies, etc
I'm basically puter illiteratebut pretty basic stuff I'm guessing.
Just browsing really, something that'll run 3 or 4 tabs without having a fit so I can moderate and edit lzir map etc.
Other than that email, and run memorymap. Magic moving pictures like iplayer and youtube would be a luxury that I haven't had for ages.
Is 512mb up to the job?
My connection is a dongle if that makes any difference![]()
Don't know, possibly. I was hoping he'd be about this evening because the lzir map needs some work and this things not up to it
Int no good if I gotta get a blurdy car anorl
Apart from that it looks like a possibility
There are often good deals on Ebay and with buyer protection it's not much of a risk.
Look for one with XP and avoid Vista. Win 7 is OK but slower than XP and needs a lot more memory, 1gig minimum.
I have just dug out my old xp laptop as my desktop broke. Did a factory reset to wipe the hard disc and am now having trouble getting the service packs and updates as it has ie6 installed on it from the reset and it can't read most websites now. Baws!
