    I have been in contact with a person about buying a secound hand laptop. I read around that it is much better to buy a recent second hand laptop as it is much cheaper (Kind of like buin a bmw second hand.)

    Anyway he forwarded me the spec of it :

    Hp pavilion dv4-1225dx (from america)

    amd turion dual core x-72
    4GB Ram
    250GB Hard Drive
    ATI HD3200 graphics
    Wireless N Card

    The reason i was buying it was also due to the fact he had some software pre installed on it, namely, office CAD and some finite element programs..

    He was looking for 650 euro for it. Said it was in great condition, no marks on it.

    Is this a good price for it?

    The Computer Says No


    Sorted by most expensive first, (Usually chancers trying to get lucky, hoping someone will buy it at that price)

    It can be better to buy a 2nd hand laptop, but this one, seems to be seriously ripping you off..

    And taking the Pi$$ a little..

    For that money, looking at a 2nd hand one, Have a look in Adverts or on Deals, ebay, etc..

    €650 for that pile of junk? You could do so much better. Even with a new laptop.

    cheers guys. i guess that lad must have been taking the Pi$$ as you put it.. he has drastically reduced the price to 500, but to me he/she sounds like a real dodgy bloke.

    it probably has pirated software on it too... may just wait out untill the new zenbook!

    Screw that. If the software is what makes you buy it, i'd want to see retail packages included.

    But either way that laptop is a heap of junk. A 500 new laptop would murder it as far as performance goes. And i mean that in every possible way!
