I'm looking for a laptop, and one of my friends offered to give me her old one that she busted. It's a Gateway solo 3350 (don't know any other specs as of yet) that she spilled tea on. she took it in and the guys said that she fried the mobo and cpu. I was wondering what the ballpark figures would be for replacing this myself. Sorry about not knowing the cpu speed, but my guess is it's between 500 and 700. I also got an IBM 500Mhz laptop for about $600 on ebay. Should I keep the gateway and resell the IBM, or vice versa (or just have two laptops, and keep a linux machine floating around...on my college budget). I really don't know how the gateways compare to IBM's. Thanks!
