buying used laptop

[gary_hendricks]

I am planing to buy used P III laptop. Can you tell me which one is the best and what to keep an eye on when checking used laptop.

An IBM Thinkpad would be a good choice. One thing to check on is where the laptops came from: if retired ones from the corporate world they may have seen hard use. Wouldn't buy one online, get one from a brick & morter store so you can try one.

Thanks for the tip. I usuallt don`t buy hardware online just beacuse the reason that I can`t try it. Especially when it is used.
