Just grabbed a used laptop off eBay.

Toshiba Qosmio G25

17" 1440x900
2GHz Pentium M 760
1GB of DDR2
2x 60GB 5400RPM hard-drives
GeForce Go 6600 128MB

Picked it up for $300.

Already have a 2GB + 1GB set of RAM on the way to replace the 2x 512MB sticks in there now.

Good deal or no?

It's a fairly old system in tech terms and won't win any awards, but for basic use it should be fine.

 

[EQPlayer]

Yeah I figured. Pentium M is what came after the Pentium 4 M and before the current T / P gen of mobile processors, right?

 

[lostandwandering]

I believe so. It'll do fine for web surfing and movie watching.

 

[EQPlayer]

Yeah. Mostly it'll be for the web and for WoW if I go on a trip or whatever. And seeing as there's an entire thread about running WoW on netbooks over at [H]ard|Forum, I think I'll be fine, haha.

Man, I wish I still had my old 1.7 GHz P4 Compaq desktop. It blew away my new rig. 8(
