Laptops

I am looking at laptops on eBay and considering which ones to get.

I found Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz laptops for about 30 EUR each, or really 60 EUR
when you consider that we would need to upgrade RAM and storage.

If I gave you an X200, would you use it? Or is it too weak?

X201 are more powerful and more expensive. This is the one I have.

These two look like good deals too. I think the repairs will be easy.

The T430 is bigger than the X series, but it's more powerful.

A neat thing about the X200 is that it has three MiniPCI Express slots,
whereas the X201 has only two.

problem is the high import duty. 25 process or so. if u bring in used hw it might get assessed at full price. be careful
