Compaq Presario 2811CA - Same as the EVO 800C
Pentium 4 Mobile 1.6 GHz, 512mb DDR, 30GB HD, DVD/CDR/RW, Radeon 7500 32meg, 15" screen, magnesium case, 802.11b, WinXP Home(legit), Office 2000 (legit), battery holds a full charge 3.5-4hours, USB2.0. No dead pixels.

You can play first person shooters (counterstrike, ut2k3, castle
wolfenstein) and games like Dungeon Siege or Neverwinter Nights at very good frame rates on this computer. Cheaper laptops with shared video memory can not do this. The screen is high quality with great contrast and fast refresh. DVD movies look great on it.

You can get cheap laptops with integrated video and plastic cases for cheap these days - but this one is a lot nicer.

Its less than a year old. 2 years left on Future Shop (Best Buy Canada) extended warranty (transferable). Many new laptops on come with 90 days now.

I am looking to trade for an Apple PowerBook or iBook or sell. I bought this for $2499 last December + the 3 year warranty and taxes (a wee bit over $3000). I would like to get $2000 cdn. I am somewhat negotiable.

I would prefer to sell it in Canada - the warranty is meaningless if I eBay it into the states.

what sort of ibook are looking to get in trade?

It would have to be a newer one with Quartz Extreme.

I would expect some cash back in the trade depending on the configuration of the iBook.

Ideally, I would like to find a 600-867Mhz TiBook to trade with. I have a desktop PC and have decided to switch the Mac except for one machine which I will use for games.

I love my PowerMac, and was going to try selling that to buy a TiBook, but it is simply too cool to sell.

So the PC laptop goes.
