insanedown58 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I got my PC cleaned up in a local store that sells refurbs of desktops. This time though, they were selling 2 laptops one was a NEC laptop and the other was a Fujitsu. The NEC was huge but the Fujitsu was sexily small and I'm thinking of getting it as my changes of getting a new laptop is as good as me dating and marrying a supermodel. The specs (from what I was able to check) was an Intel Core 2 Duo clocked at 1.9 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. It also originally ran Vista but was changed to Windows 7. Aero works well and the system seems to be fairly responsive. I don't intend to use Windows (I'll put Linux on it) it as I have my newly modified Intel PC (used to be the AMD APU build) as my main driver. Now they are selling it for $56.50 which I can save up for up until December. (They tend to make these things happen at specific days during the month) They also said they still have 25 of those in storage for refurbishing as it was sold to them when a small firm changed to newer Toshibas.TLDR: There's a Fujitsu notebook with an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.9 GHz and a 1 GB of RAM running Windows 7 for $117.52. I'll run Linux on it. Should I buy it?EDIT: I have no idea where the original price came from. Must've copied it from something else. :duh: :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for Windows and gaming the other for Linux and everything else it could do :showoff: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davmil Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 For 2000 Pesos, why not? Give it to your kids/bro&sisters or parents when you're weary of it. Either should be a good horses for the duration of their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gipsy Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 if u agree 2 spent some money for RAM (I knew what DDR2 isn't cheap now) it will be ok for Linux imo.btw. ex-top SPU for 945-965 chipsets (T9550 for ex.) is cheap so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either should be a good horses for the duration of their lives.Its not 2,000 its actually 5,200. And I'm the kid so I'm pretty sure it'd be broken when my kids get a chance to even see it. Parents have tablets already so they really don't care about these things :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffi Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 TLDR: There's a Fujitsu notebook with an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.9 GHz and a 1 GB of RAM running Windows 7 for $117.52. I'll run Linux on it. Should I buy it? EDIT: I have no idea where the original price came from. Must've copied it from something else. :duh: :oops: what's the graphics adapter(you need a decent one) and wireless card (these can be a real pain under linux)? win7 will actually beat most linuxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the wireless card I think I remember it being a Realtek chip. If not, then it is most likely an Atheros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
