the links dont work as vbulletin tries to be too clever :)

just post the ebay auction number or (i think) turn off 'automatically parse urls'.

the compaq is not very good at all, quite slow!

the fujitsu however is alot better and may be worth buying!

i also may have a laptop for sale, pm me if you may be interested?

thanx!

the lifebook seems reasonable for what you want and should do the trick. good to see that the battery is reasonable - replacements tend to be 40 or 50 quid or possibly more. remember the £10 delivery on top.

the only thing that stood out to me was the 4 gig drive. dont expect to get too much more than windows and office on there :)

i'd stay away from the other though, even though you only want internet and word/excel. its more of a PDA than a laptop.

You'll find that even the internet sometimes needs a certain degree of 'power', such as PDFs, Flash sites, Java, etc. I dont think the HP would cope. Its only got a flash drive too, no hard disk.

WHy don't you try and buy a new laptop, ratrher than bid on these, you could be getting anything really and don't know which region it came from (Originally) either.

Look around some of the main suppliers / distys and they'll have some very affordable options

I'd rather buy a new £400 - £500 laptop than run the risk of throwing £150 away on a laptop with zero warrany / g'ntee.

Both the laptops being asked to review here are old and have small screens, slow processors and no/small hdd. To upgrade these to run some modern software would be expensive as a 2.5" 40gb HDD would be at least £50, memory around the smae for 256mb and then there's the processor that your pretty much sstuck with. Shall I continue???

Come on, give the guy some credit. £400 is a lot different from £150. why buy a Focus for £10k when you can get a Lexus for 25k?

He wants internet access and possibly Word. No hardware upgrades are needed for Fujitsu.
