Title: Dell studio 1735 laptop (Cheap!)
Post by: Rare on Sat, 01 June 2013, 02:08:10
Howdy GH. I'm selling off my laptop. Too be honest, it's a kind of bad reason i'm selling it. It has some very minor issues which can be fixed easily which I don't feel like fixing. It just gets hot and slows down and the actual battery doesn't work (works only while plugged in). That's about it. Other than that, the computer works great. I currently have ubuntu installed on it, but when bought, I will wipe the HDD. This laptop has a webcam built into it, a microphone, etc. It's a great all around laptop. The specs include:

Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz × 2
4 GB Ram

Those are the main ones. I believe the graphics are integrated with the cpu. It's a 17 inch laptop. I'm asking for $100 firm, plus shipping. If you plan to buy this and want to repair the little problems it has, then you'll have a great laptop for a really low price. I'm accepting paypal only and shipping within the conUS. If you're interested, send me a PM or simply post below. Thanks. (P.S, the sticker on the PC IS removed, and yes it does come with a power cord.)

What is the GPU info? Integrated? A little discreet card? Either way 100$ is a good deal guys!!  I am a hard ware tech and that is nice for that resolution.. Plus it will work great as a htpc with Xbmc.

The last thing I need is another computer...

Edit:ipad ****ed that up

Keep it wu-tang

Students get on this.

I assume you meant to type GPU? haha. But anyways, I just found that out too. :\ I should have looked around more before posting. But, the graphics -     256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650

Just wanted to add that it shouldn't take a terribly long time to open up the laptop, remove the CPU heatsink, clean off old TIM with alcohol, and apply fresh TIM.  And clean out the dust from the heatsink.  This will likely solve the overheating issue.  Would take me an hour to do that carefully.

Yeah, I know that. I've opened it up and cleaned it before. It solved the problem for a few weeks. But I just don't feel like dealing with it any more. I use this laptop on the weekends only and barley use it at that. I have a tablet which I prefer using over this.



Alright, so the user rhubarb has reserved this and I am giving him until tomorrow night around this time to pay. So, if our deal doesn't end up going through, then I'll update you guys.
