Wanted your opinions on this laptop that someone is trying to sell me.

PROCESSOR     

AMD TURION 64 MK36 2.0 GHz,
    
60 GB(5,400rpm)HardDrive
512MB 533MHz DDR2 RAM
60 GB(5,400rpm)HardDrive     
High Definition Audio (HDA) bus; 24-bit (analog-to-digital & digital-to-analog)
ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory

Is it good?

He wants £350 for it, is that a good price?

Thanks

U'd be better off (alot better) getting a custom pc built.

For around that price u could get a nice p4 3.4 ghz cpu, 1 gig ram and a better graphics chipset than that.

U didnt sell ur pc so u could get that did u???

To be really honest with u man DX10 cards and dual core cpus and with vista out and needing like 2 gig in ur machine to run smooth that laptops specs are going to be useless in like 4 days... Plus even if u were to try and upgrade u will find that it can be a right hassle trying to upgrade ur laptop.

seriously i would spend the money on getting a nice cheap custom made comp that has a very nice upgradable mobo for the future with SLI etc.... Just so ur not stuck having to sell to get better specs again.

So in my conclusion... i wouldnt buy it.

No, this is just for collge use.

Most laptops that i have seen are like £400, and thats for a 1.6Ghz.

I will put in another 1GB in there when i get it

(Yes, i bought it)

DaveMan_CI... here is the PC i'm saving up to get:

well its alright for the price for a laptop man, but i thought u had sold ur pc to buy that laptop as ur main computer... but if its to be used for actually being a laptop (portable) then yeah man, seems a good deal... just make sure u get some nice ram.
