I would like to invest in a netbook, but I need cash first. Thus I'm willing to part with my laptop in order to get something smaller and more portable. I don't want to put it on Ebay quite yet, and I don't want to place it on CL, so I figure I would see if anyone here was interested.
Here are the specs:-Gateway
-1.5 GHz Pentium Celeron CPU
-64mb Integrated Graphics
-512mb RAM
-40gb HDD (Was replaced with NEW one after old one was worn out.)
-1280x768 Glossy LCD
-Wireless
-SD Card Reader
-Original OEM Serial
-Driver CD Included
-2 USB Ports (Left Side)
-CD / Burner - DVD Reader
-Cardbus Slot
-Ethernet Port
-Phone Modem Port
-Windows Vista Compatible (No Aero though...)
-Battery (lasts for roughly 2 hours).
Damages:-On the lower-left side the paint is worn out, clearly visible, from where I gamed on it.
-FN key's metal bracket broke, this was after I had it for a while. The key is securely taped into place using the best quality 3M Scotch Tape.
-Wireless sometimes randomly drops (rare) and requires a restart (XP driver problem, works fine with Linux and Vista).
Other Information:-Everything is in FULL WORKING ORDER. Does NOT come with an OS installed, unless you don't mind a copy of XP that has a blacklisted license. I will not install Linux or any other OS on it.
-Linux use requires the OpenChrome driver set.
Price:I'm looking to make around $160 for it. Buyer pays shipping. The item is in GREAT working condition. I've cleaned it up to the best I can, air-dusted all ports, fans, and even dissembled the laptop to clean it out on the inside. Runs fast, great for Linux and XP, and even works with Windows Vista. It might seem a bit expensive for a used laptop, but it's still in great working condition, and I didn't use it that much to begin with (except for when I first got it). It comes from a SMOKE FREE environment, meaning it isn't discolored, smelly, or has poor ventilation due to smoke blockage. It was NEVER taken into a restroom of any sort, however was present in a kitchen when cooking food (non-smoky food). Non-greasy keyboard, no random splotches of random liquid. Was never used to look at or download obscene materials, was never used to download warez or other forms of illegal content.
Please keep auction bids reasonable. If I don't hear a price I really would be interested in, I will not accept the bid.
Package Includes:-Original owners manual.
-Full, brand new, driver CD.
-Nearly new laptop case.
-AC adapter.
-Gateway Laptop
-Ubuntu 9.04 CD (upon request, brand new).
Shipping & Payment:I will ONLY accept PayPal. Cash or check will not be accepted. Shipping is to United States and Canada ONLY. Canadian residents will pay extra for shipping. I ship by USPS Priority. If you wish to ship with something different, let me know. I DO NOT ACCEPT REFUNDS. YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS ITEM AS IS. I DO NOT ACCEPT EXCHANGES AS THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I OWN. Item will be shipped 1-3 days upon cleared payment (meaning I have a confirmed transaction).
Total shipping weight is around 10 pounds. The laptop itself is roughly 8 and a half pounds, plus the case and adapter, battery, etc. Shipping costs vary depending on location. I am located on the East Coast.
Highest "bidder" gets it. Right now I will accept the $160 offer instantly. I would like to get at least $150 for it.
Liability:When purchasing this item you are agreeing that you are buying it "as is" without any kind of gurantee or warranty. It has been tested and is in full working, clean order. No refunds, exchanges, or returns.
