Good second hand/ refurb laptop ? around £300 budget

debitcardmayhem

29/02/16 Eventually I bought this one: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2735 15.4" Intel Core 2 Duo 1024MB

£70 second hand on Ebay, it'll do for now

thank you all for the advice

But on 21/01/16

was thinking £60 or £70 a month, a £300 lappie should take 5 months to pay off I reckon? not sure what interest they charge

I could wait to earn the full amount but I really need it now

what would you advise?

then sent 2 back at least as far as I can tell, looking back, and well

06/02/16 Seems something not quite right on this thread...

OK folks let's wait till the amilo goes back and we can revisit this thread....
But I am with NiftyD on 06/02

Has anyone got experience with this site? they also have a finance option for this laptop, seems a bit too good to be true

I've just brought my laptop from this site, I got mime for £299 hp intel 5 - the guy who does all my computers - he is a business owner, he sourced it for me.

1GB of RAM? Really? I link you to i3 CPU with 4GB of RAM and you settled for C2D with 1GB.??
The mind boggles.

the one you suggested in post #52 is i5 and costs a lot more than £70, or do you mean another one?

Post #80, same as your suggestion in #78, but perhaps a chance to bid less.

Seems there are serious gaps in your concentration.

That was gone soon after and no similar laptop have been listed at that price bracket ever since

kobracai

quick Ebay search says that that laptop is at least £150 including postage. Not an option at the moment. Perhaps in a couple of months.

Of course not at all true. I told you that there were more upcoming.

Similar one just went today here.

Upcoming as in post #80 here

They have i7 HP and i3 Toshiba, starting at £80...

this one doesn't look bad, would you recommend it Nifty?

although my experience with bidding is that you almost always end up higher than the Buy it Now price anyway
