    I have a chance to get one of these for a 100 bucks and I was wondering if this is a good deal. The guy claims that the hard drive is bad but it could always be something more wrong with it. I have searched this forum and have not found any info on it. The only info I have found on google is that this laptop should come with a pentium 4 processor. I have yet to find a detailed review. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    $100 for a faulty pentium4 notebook is a ripoff if you ask me.

    If it was working and in good condition, maybe that would be a decent price.

    See that's the thing. If all it really needs is a hard drive then it won't be a bad deal since I have plenty just laying around but I don't know if there is anything else to look for with this particular laptop.

    Look just because it's cheap means you have to buy it.
    Question is do you need it?
    Personaly I've never heard of this model, Specs?
