For those of you who don't know, I own my own computer service company, and I occasionally receive computers that are in very good shape. This is one of those systems. I have tested everything on it, and the only item that is not working is the built-in network interface card (NIC) that is in the back of the Advanced Port Replicator (APR). This is not critical, since the internal NIC works fine on the laptop itself. Plus, it comes with a Netgear WG511T Wireless PC Card. So you can go wired/wireless with no problem. The battery works very well and holds a good charge. I'm testing it right now to see how long it lasts while watching a movie. I'll post how long it lasts on a single charge. ** It lasts about 1.5 hours watching a movie. **
The specs:
* Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M CPU 2.00GHz w/ 512MB L2 Cache
* Windows XP Home Edition
* 768 MB RAM
* 14.1" screen
* 40GB Hard Drive
* Combo DVD/CDRW drive - watch movies & burn CDs (not DVDs)
* Advanced Port Replicator
* Netgear WG511T 108 Mbps Wireless PC Card
* Two AC adapters (one for the APR, one for traveling)
I do not have any of the original software since the customer could not locate it. I am going to include the following:
* Burned copy of Windows XP Home Edition (you can use the Product Key on the bottom of the laptop to install XP legally)
* All hardware drivers for XP on a CD (I'll download all of these and burn them to a CD)
* I will format the drive and do a clean install of XP Home, load all drivers & all current Windows updates.
I'll install the following:
* Adobe Reader, Flash & Shockwave
* Java
* PowerDVD software to watch movies with
* Nero Burning ROM software to burn CDs with
* AVG 8.0 Free Edition antivirus software
* Ad Aware 2008 Free Edition
If there is anything else that you need, just let me know. If you have any questions, also let me know.
I'm selling the whole package for $250, plus shipping.
