[CLOSED] Cheap laptop

[guitarplinker]

I'm looking into purchasing a cheap used laptop and charger (cheap as in <= $130 USD shipped) and was wondering if anybody here has anything up for grabs. I'd be using this laptop mainly for internet browsing and some light programming (Android Studio and Eclipse mainly). I'd prefer a laptop with a higher capacity HDD than a laptop with a lower capacity SSD.

Shipping would be to Canada as well, so let me know what you have either in this thread or via PM! I'm open to using an escrow agreed on by both parties, but I ask that the seller pays all escrow fees, since I'm a fairly trusted member here on the forums and have been trusted with much more than $130 USD. Any other questions can be asked in this thread or through PM.

I've found a laptop - thanks for all the offers!

I wish you to have so much offers that you can choose beetwen laptops with hdd's and ssd's.. but, with a budget <= $130 I wouldn’t raise my hopes too high if I were you.

Anyway, goodluck with finding what you need.

I might have a few laptops that would work for you. I will check later and shoot you a message.

I seen laptops go for $70 exactly for what youre looking for which is "internet browsing" which is the google chromebook.

Theres 2 versions of the chromebook, but the older model is the same with Googles OS- you should look on ebay.

Sounds good, I'll send you a message in a minute about that.

I'd have to check to see Chrome OS' compatibility with Eclipse and Android Studio, but if those programs work on Chrome OS then that would definitely be a solid option for me. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it if a deal with Blazed falls through.

I would go for an i3/i5/i7 laptop so it doesn't get obsolete so soon after you buy it.
But at your price range I  doubt you will be able to find one at that price. You got to up your spending budget abit.

I've got an HP Elitebook 2570p with an i7, just waiting on a drive adapter for it so I can toss a HDD in it, then it would be ready to go. I could let it go for 130 once that happens.

I'd have to do a little research on that laptop but it sounds appealing to me. Would you have any other specs for that laptop by chance?

it's on the smaller side as far as the screen, I believe it's 12 inches. I just installed a 128SSD in it, and it has a (2nd gen?) i7 quadcore in it... I think it's got 4GB or 8GB of RAM, has a bit of a physical damage blemish on bottom corner, I'll take pics tomorrow once I install Windows 10 Education Edition (same as enterprise version, highest version available.) and I can install whatever else you want on it too, just ask! I have legit copies of all Microsoft products.

Awesome, that sounds good. I'll be sending you a PM in a minute.

Hi Blazed,
I would be interested in this offer as I am looking for a laptop in that same league as Guitarplinker looks like he has found one to his liking in that price range. But I would be more interested in a little larger screen at 15"-17". Hard drive does not need to be included(ssd capability is though) but would like a dedicated graphics card and willing to pay more for this feature.

Thanks for any response back on this when you get the chance next time you are online.

Have you got another laptop like that without a HDD in it so it can be for less than that?
If you do let me know. Was looking for a surface 4 but they cost too much.

Did you find one? I have 2 different Dell models I could send you for about that range.

Right now I have a deal pending with crowetic, but I'll shoot you a message if that falls through.

Let us knows how this goes as people here might want to buy from him if this goes well for you.
Hope he has some others in stock for around this same price.
