1. Microsoft don't make laptops
2. Give us some tech specs
3. $15 every 3 months for 140 years, or for 6, or for what?

Is this a joke?

"good question"...

...it is for someone!

I think you're asking the wrong crowd if you want a good answer...

[cheerios]

doesn't sound TOO bad, but sounds kinda fishy... what's wrong with this comp, that they're sellin' it for $15? And for how long? Is there interst attached? $15 a month, to pay off $2000 takes a LONG time, and interest piles up quick... Think hard.

[Niubi]

No thats a rip off price mate, and that make of compaq is liable to explode after a month of purchase.

But I'll do you a favour...

I'll take it off your hands and de-fuse it before it blows up your house or hurts your nearestand dearest, It will only cost you the delivery to england, and $100 for expenses.

It does sound fishy. I agree somthing aint right 15 dollars every 3 months

[zigzag]

As Cipher said, there's no way to judge whether it's a "good deal" without knowing all of the payment terms. For how long do you have to pay $15 every 3 months? Do you have to buy something else? Sign up for a credit card? Who exactly is selling it? Details, please.

[PowerBookDude]

Dude, give us more details.

1. $15 every 3 months for how long?
2. Is there any fineprint? Like interest.
3. Do you know why the person is selling it?
4. Have you seen the laptop? It could be damaged and that is why the person is seeling it.
5. Do you know this person? Do you trust him?

[gumby5647]

"Shared" video memory. I alway love reading this.....either that or its "integrated" video memory.

IE: i use RAM for video memory. yuck.

Kyle dude I thought I converted you to Mac. Just because you see an attractive price of $15 every 3 months doesn't mean it is a good buy. It still uses Windows and has a noisy ass fan. It must be $15 for the first 3 months and then you'll have to pay monthly or however. I agree the specs on that machine look great but i'd take an iBook over it anyday. You must be copying the specs from a site so give us the site.

In 2 weeks i'll have a beautiful new iBook 600!
