I'm looking for a laptop

Vestitor · 08-21-2007, 01:34 AM

Ok, I recently have thought about buying a laptop, and I have only$100 to spend on it. The most graphic game i'm planning ot run on this would be WarCraft III TFT.

So I was wondering in your opinion, how good of a laptop can I get for $100 and where should I buy it?

Even Warcraft 3 is unlikely to run well on something for $100, but look on ebay and show us anything you can afford and maybe we will be able to tell you how well it will run..

Dude, One hundred dollars? I don't think your going to find anything for that budget unless you go to like a pawn shop or something, and even then you probably wouldn't be able to get one that would play any games...

That's why I said eBay compfuzed,

yea, you won't find anything descent for $100. I sold an IBM Thinkpad 600 with a PentiumII 233 and 20GB hdd for $190 about 9 months ago. I know i got more than it was worth, but thats about what u'd be able to pick up with $100 and it barely played the sims lol. I dont even think it streamed videos that well, but it was from 1998 maybe thats y? lol. Good luck with ur search.

I have a Gateway for $275 plus shipping FS: Dell and Gateway laptops

Just in case you find out the obvious, it's gonna be hard to find anything for $100, even $200 that will run that game...

Well, hopes are low for my $100 laptop... but I will do what XRT says, off to ebay!
