    For £120 it's ok, but if it starts to go towards £220+, less so, when you can get a new one for £300 or so, with a new battery/dvd writer/vista/wireless etc..
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    assuming it's ghz, that's not a bad deal. Don't expect the battery to last too long though, and check whether it has a wireless card 802.11b if you need that.

    I would be sceptical (but thats just me)

    A Seller with only ONE feedback score, from someone no longer registered!?!?!

    The only feedback from 2005

    Been an ebay member since 2004 but that single purchase has been their only contribution??!!

    Seller seems very keen for a quick sale

    Questionable item description with that CPU speed

    May be a hacked account, maybe fine

    Good luck if you go for it, But I would back away.

    I agree with chr15, seller doesn't have enough feedback. I never bid on anyone with less than 30+ feedback (unless the item doesn't cost much)
