Given:<br>A) Rapidity of obsolescence of models and especially replacement components for notebooks.<br>B) The notebook battery life esp of a NiCad battery (not sure if this one had Nimh or Lion)<br>C) Price of modern notebook computers<br>
D) Computing power (esp. graphics capabilities) & battery run time of modern notebook computers<br>I would *NOT* recommend buying a used notebook from a pawn shop or much of anywhere else without at least a 90 day warranty. There is BIG difference between PRICE and VALUE. I.e. unless you are cut from the same cloth as Clark Howard, Low Price != Good Value in many cases. He on the other hand "will always accept lower quality for lower price" maybe that's why he's a bazillionaire.<br>
