Went into one of the charity shops down town today and guess what i had??

A laptop!! Is nothing special but its a great buy. Celeron M 1.5ghz, 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD, 15 inch screen, intergrated vga and wifi. Even had a Win XP cd and licence.

The cost - an amazing £100

I swear the people in the place dobt know what things are worth,earlier this year i only paid a tenner for a massive scalextric set that was worth at least £60 second hand.

Thats a bit of a booby dazzler!

That spec is perfect for web surfing, email, office etc.

Yeah, perfect for surfing when im too lazy to get out of bed! Also just discovered the optical drive is a 4x dual format DVD Writer, it just gets better

Already got another 256Mb RAM lined up.

Well done mate, I paid £399 + VAT for an identical spec one on Tuesday to use for work

Yours sounds bargain tastic, might keep my eyes open for a cheap laptop for personal use.

That sounds excellent. I gotta find myself a local charity shop round here
