Looks like a great buy to me De!

I use my HP laptop when I travel. I do not use it when I am home in my office.

I prefer a regular keyboard and mouse with a very large flat panel LED monitor. 24 inch diagonal.

If ya just wants to take something with ya on a trip to keep tracks of what's going on with things of interest they are ideal.. They work for using the internet as well. They just did not cost you a small fortune..

Nothing wrong with that. IF it ain't broke, it really don't need fixin'.

I just won a pair of laptops (HP and Dell) for $21 + 18%. Their status is unknown. I don't even have their model numbers or know how old they are. As you can see, neither has a power supply. That makes the auctioneer's claim that he doesn't know if they work believable.

I took the gamble mostly because the auction also had some items that made me think the owner may have died: A walker, and a shower seat. For some reason, I think older folks tend to be "light" users of computers and that these laptops could well be in excellent condition. Of course, this board is probably a bad place for me to field THAT theory, but it is what it is.

This will wind up being a really good deal or one of the dumber auction wins I've ever had. There really is no middle ground.
