I'm looking at purchasing a used laptop locally, and I have a few options.
The one with the best specs is the Acer Aspire 5738Z,Core2Duo T6600 2.2ghz CPU, 4gb DDR3, Win7, and he says a good battery. Asking $220
I don't personally like the Acer brand, and there are a couple Toshiba's for sale as well:
Toshiba Satellite A300, Core3Duo T3200 2ghz, 2GB ram, etc. $180
Toshiba Satellite L500D, Athlon x2 dual core 2.1ghz, 4gb DDR2, etc. $240
HP G61, Athlon X2 M320 2.1GHz, 3gb Ram, $250
Thoughts??? I definitely believe that Toshiba is a better brand than Acer, and will last longer... and since I'm buying an already used laptop, I think that would matter more than ever?
I wanted to go with the A300, but 2gb of DDR2 sucks. Should I suck it up with Acer and just get the one with the best specs? I'll be putting my 80GB Intel SSD into whatever laptop I buy, which is why I didn't list the HDD specs.
I'll just be using this for general browsing, youtube, online poker, etc.
Thanks for any input!
