I got one for around $400. It's a dell, forgot the model number. Centrino processor, 512 MB ram (can be upgraded easily), I will actually upgrade it to 1 - 2 gb for a small price, 40 gig harddrive, etc...

Let me know if you're interested.

Hmmm...you never responded to me. Does that mean you're not interested in the Dell laptop?

I have a Sony vaio s series (s480) with :
Light weight (a little over 4 Lbs)
1.6Ghz Pentium M
Standard battery (good for 3 hrs or so)
2gb of ram
xp Pro (authentic with key on bottom)
Internal wireless (b,g)
40gb HD
Whatever sony calls their glossy screen
In decent cosmetic condition (a little paint wear around the corners)
Outside of that there are no dead pixels or scratches on the screen and it works great. Looking for $500.

Please let me know if you are interested or would like pictures via an email to sfkilo@aim.com
since the mods haven't reviewed my actual account yet and I am using a bugmenot login (I know its not really a good idea but I am just trying to help). I can do postal money orders, paypal, I will even list it on ebay for you if that would make it more appealing. -Steve

Well now I have "MY" account.
Thats fine I can do $450 but if you want to use paypal it will be $463.50 to cover the fees (hence asking $500 before with paypal and ebay auction) but if you can do a money order I can do $450 no problem with shipping via FedEx insured unless you are local to Pittsburgh then I can knock off $20 for shipping if you pick it up. You have a PM
