The main board went on my laptop last fall. Does anyone know where I can get a decent used laptop in Canada? Thanks

 

Paul, I seen some decent used ones on the Dell.ca website. I think they were in the 600.00 range. I'm not sure what you are lookin to spend.

 

I can't find them Have you got a link? $600 sounds just about right if they are relatively modern.

 

Have you checked out eBAY ?

I bought my last one on E-Bay and had nothing but trouble with it. Most sellers don't offer a warranty either.

 

The parent company (of the company I work for) may have some older NECs that aren't very pretty nor very powerful but may do the job.

Is raw processing power, memory or disk an issue ?

I'd use an Atari if I could No, processor speed is not important. I need the laptop to eavesdrop on the conversations my engine has with the ecm and to run the DFI when I put my Z28 back together.

 

I am back in the office today. I'll call IT to see if they still have any of those units in mothballs. Theoretically (if they have any left) they would part with them really cheap.

That would be great, thanks. The only place i've found is Burnt Circuits in London. They want $385 for a Pentium 166 with everything(rom, 12 inch screen, 3 gig hd, 32megs of ram). They also offer a 45 day warrantee which is nice.
