Hi, If you&#39;re interested, I&#39;m about ready to part with my laptop and I believe it covers all of your requirements if not more. It&#39;s worth about £1000 but I&#39;m willing to sell it for around £600.

Give me 10 minutes and I&#39;ll post the system specs.

Regards,

celeron is better than p2mmx.....&nbsp;

&#39;P2MMX&#39; isn&#39;t a chip.

There was the Pentium, then the Pentium Pro, then the Pentium MMX and after that the Pentium 2 (which happens to have MMX support, as do all modern CPUs).

There&#39;s no such thing as a CPU branded "P2MMX".

Did you ever sort out your battery problem, Lamsey?

Nope, no-one seemed to be able to provide any easy way of testing where the fault lies. At some point I might risk it and buy a new battery, but it&#39;s quite a big risk

[clocker]

Oh well.
I&#39;m sure it will make a very attractive candle holder till then.

It still works fine on AC power

I can still use it in uni, in lectures or in labs, just have to find a plug point. A minor inconvenience.

I can also still use it here, so WeeMouse and I can be online at the same time (no more fighting over the keyboard ).

But it&#39;s not as convenient as having a working battery - so I&#39;d not recommend going via eBay for getting a laptop. Too many things can go wrong. Things could have been worse for me.

So, all you need to do is carry a 50ft extension cord with you at all times and you&#39;re good to go, eh?

3rd gen noob suggested that I attach a portable AC generator to my bike on a trailer
