Was thinking of selling our laptop and moving to a desktop, but 300,000 is a bit lower than I was hoping for. We've had it a few years, and never had a problem. Take a look and shoot me an offer...

I have the computer, and the external base station that'd go together.


Laptop Model: Hewlett Packard 2050usEntertainment-centric notebook PC with widescreen 14-inch LCD and stylish high-gloss finish
1.73 GHz Intel Core Duo T2250 dual-core processor, 120 GB hard drive, 2 GB of RAM installed (max capacity), Lightscribe multi-format/dual-layer DVD/CD burner
Three USB 2.0, one Firewire, one VGA, one S-Video, one ExpressCard 54/34, microphone, dual headphone (one with SPDIF output)
Tri-mode wireless LAN (802.11a/b/g); 10/100 Ethernet; 56K (V.90) modem; multi-format memory card reader
Windows XP Home edition, fully updated. English keys, but I added some Korean hangul stickers (slightly worn, but replaceable). Externally, perfect condition. The face is slightly worn, in the keyboard area, but very lightly from regular use. I can take a photo later.

I will restore the Hard Drive to at-purchase condition. Comes with the 3 reinstallation/recovery discs that I had to burn at purchase (plus maybe some back-ups I made).

I have also upgraded the battery a year ago to the larger 12-cell size which kind of sticks out the bottom. I'm sure it has well over 3 hours of charge ability left -- haven't run it down to find out.


Base:
HP xb3000 external docking base with keyboard. The photo here looks like my computer, as well.

go to yongsan

Then have your folks send it over as baked goods.

Those are pretty low specs to shoot for! To watch videos or play music, multitask, and read email, I'd at least go for 2.0ghz, more RAM, and a larger hard drive. Anyhow, good luck in your search. As the others have said, it's best to go to Yongsan. They've got plenty of used laptops to look at. I'm fairly sure, though, that you'll spend more than 100,000 to 300,000 W for one though.

Just looking for something better than my 1.7ghz office computer.

I will comment more at another thread about them at http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?p=2195583

Ask questions, make sure it is working before you take it out. I'll explain why at the above thread and why I recommend them.
