Hi As I would be travelling around constantly from mid-Nov 07 for the next six to eight months extensively (across India only), I am looking for a used laptop to carry around. My decision is based more out of security considerations as I can't guarantee security for a new expensive laptop (35-40+ K is expensive for me :-) as at many places the luggage stowage areas will be public lockers etc.
So if any members are planning to dispose of their laptops please do contact me offline (and no - I am not some used product re-seller please!!). I am from Delhi. But if someone from Bangalore has an offer, I can arrange to have it picked up. I am currently using a Thinkpad R35 (old but trusty!!), and cannot carry it around as have to submit it back to office. Similar or better config would do for me. Current config - P-IV mobile 1.70 GHz, 512 MB, 40 GB, 14", DVD-CD RW, Intel PRO/100 NIC as basic config. Wi-fi desired!! Battery life of minimum 1 hour a must though! Most importantly - should be compatible with Linux (using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 right now - haven't yet upgraded to Gusty!) - thats the main criteria basically. I use my laptop for a bit of programming, more to read ebooks and do lots of office work on open-office. Of course Internet browsing is given!! So please do get in touch if you have an offer with your config. We can take it offline please! And will entertain offers from individuals only - not from re-sellers (so Nehru Place types are off my preference list, please)!! Thanks - Subash _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
