$449.99 for a refurbished notebook PC with DVD-RWSo you want a good deal on a refurbished notebook PC, but you want something a little more diversified than yesterday’s bargain? Geeks.com can help. Here’s another Dell notebook, this time built around a fast Intel Pentium M 1.7 GHz processor and 512MB of RAM: This affordable notebook features the Windows 2000 operating system, which you can use on its own, or which you can upgrade to WinXP after purchase. The hard drive is 40GB, and you get a DVD-RW drive for watching video, listening to music, or saving data. This inexpensive laptop computer also comes with a dialup modem and an ethernet modem. Other nice features include a couple of USB ports, an S-Video/TV-Out port, and a large 14.1-inch TFT display with integrated video. As with yesterday’s featured notebook PC, this refurbished unit comes with a couple of caveats. The battery isn’t guaranteed to work, and you may need to purchase a new one if you want to take your laptop on the road. Also, although Win 2K is installed on this PC, the original installation disks aren’t included. This is when you’ll want to investigate some hard drive “mirroring” software so you can reinstall in case of a problem. This refurbished notebook computer comes with a 90 day warranty, so you should be able to take advantage of the great price and have peace of mind as well. Leave a Reply | |
