I know I'm a pain in the neck, but I value your feedback!

That is nice for the money....

Depends on how much you can get it for. I'd say anything over $600 is a bad deal.

 

[sab2008]

What if it goes for about 350.00 more or less?[/B]

 

[cohen]

If it goes for less, then yes it is worth it.

What do you plan on using the laptop for???

 

[sab2008]

Actually, I was looking for a laptop for a son. The one he has now is so slowwwwww........He had it cleaned up but it has never been good. I would have to see it to tell you what series of HP it is.

General use, some business programs, photos, internet, microsoft word processor for business letters, etc.

As of this moment, it would probably not be heavily used unless he finds it easier to use and really starts using a laptop. Right now, he only uses the old one occasionally.

That would be fine then.
