looking for a cheap er very cheap wireless note book/lap top:

any ideas or if anyone's got one for sale: dont need vista on it but would rather XP :

I wuvv mine lots it become worrying LOL:D
 
well just spent shed loads on a new pc : but I need to show people my web site and so on.... but only just starting out so funds are tight:

the loo sounds good at least I would get some peace in there:

I was looking at a few in the cash converters down town.... 3 months ticket on them, however you would not know where they have some from and what could be on them:
anyone used them ?

Does anyone actually find that place cheap, I always think the stuff looks expensive for 2nd hand goods.
 
the price for a lap top was £200 : Lancs Dave no I don't think they are that cheap, having said that sometime they have a few bargains in: not bad on the price of tools and they have some DVD's:
 
The stuff in there is Very expensive in there for the price of there laptop's £350+ second hand you can buy a a new one in woolies .
I got this one its a Medion i have had no problems with it not the fastest of laptops but it does what i want and its wireless .
in cash converters
There was a computer in there selling with monitor for £400 ok it had a 15ins flat monitor with it but i had seen the desktop on its own for £90
 
They are very expensive in cash converters, plus he specs on them are very basic so cant be sure of what u are getting, the laptops i saw in there was quite expensive as mick says u can get a new one with guarentee for a bit xtra on the price.
 
Magpie, why do you need teh net to show them your website? You should have a copy of it on your PC locally. just use that to show them.

The other point is that just cause the laptop is wireless you still need some form of internet access point within ~100m.

I'll keep my ears open for anyone at work selling one for you.

You take your laptop to the loo. You dirty *****.
I suppose you wuvv it because you bought one of those USB rabbits ;) :D
 
also need it to use the net whilst out and about working.....

I think you need to look into how you will connect to the net when you are out and about working.
Is there a wireless hotspot where you will be working?
Are you going to connect through your mobile phone? (you might need your own personal oil well to pay the phone bill if you do depending on your phone contract)
 
If you want to show the website to people who have PCs can't you just log into it from their PC - or is there something I'm missing?
 
I think they want to show it to the market traders whilst down there hence my comment about just running the site locally on the laptop
 
ah yes:

well I need to show market traders and so on their ads on my site:

( don't need the net for that)

plus I work away from home so it would be handy:


should have said what I wanted it for: one of those day's weeks then again month:

Desktop on its own for £90 quid , where can i find that amazing deal? Im in the same boat as magpie because i need a wireless laptop but very cheap and i cant seem to find one. Someone told me the other day about there being some cheap computers at the old time building but im not sure they do. Can anyone help?
 
don't go to Time, they are teh rubbish left over.

2nd hand laptops are rare and hold their value as Students will buy pretty much anything that goes.

your best bet is to try and get the £350ish together for a new one with warranty.
 
Time: hm did they take over from TINY I got ripped off with a pc from TINY
or rather Tough It's Now Yours:

I am looking around the £350 mark: I could use and off line browser to show the sites and so on....
 
Yeh well someone told me that they where selling computers cheap at the time building but i didnt like tiny really. Ive got a very good computer now which the family bought for over a grand its an all in one computer so the monitor is the computer. Anyway i want a laptop to take around the house and things but dont want to spend so much. Like i saw the advent laptops in pc world for £300 at christmas but i was thinking if you could get one of them second hand then it would be even cheaper.
 
you would have thought if you did not want vista they would be selling off old ( ish) ones cheap: but I am not finding that: I was thinking about DELL but gave up with all the small print: I need a new brain now having tried to read it al:
