Used laptop for christmas!

springchicken

hi there
Daughter wants a laptop for christmas have told her we cant afford it (all new over £500)!!!
Have been told that I can get a reconditioned one from our local PC fair for about £200 (my limit)!
Have any of you had experience with recon laptops ?
What kind of spec could I get for that money?
any help appreciated.

There is a cheap laptop hunt thread. It may be worth a look on there to see what is avaliable.

Springchicken,
try these people- https://www.ittrading.co.uk
Look under used laptops.
I've had used 3 systems from them, and very pleased with them.
Somewhere onthe site is a bit about the warranty -3 month I think ??

Good luck

When buying a second hand laptop you need to ask yourself whether you need one with a decent battery life or not because the chances are that on most of used laptops the battery is usually dead and will not hold much of a charge.
