WTTF: laptop (cheap) > Office 2007, hdds, RAM, & more
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 6:34 pm
I just sold off my R60 to pay for my wife's car problems, thinking I'd be ok with my T60 for school. Unfortunately, the school is still being stupid in regards to 64 bit Vista & Cisco. I had the issues worked out, but after yesterday morning's reformatting to fix a ghost CD issue (I think Daemon Tools got messed up during one of the restores), I lost WiFi access at the school.
So, I'm looking for a cheap wireless-capable laptop. Unfortunately, I'm low on cash. Not low on parts though! I'm thinking something P3 based, T2x, X30 would be absolutely perfect, but I'll entertain just about anything. I'm desperate more than picky.
