Status: Offline | I hate to be a killjoy, but to get back to the original subject:- I too have just had a computer terminally fail, an Acer Aspire 3613WLMi it has given good service for 5years but the battery and the crappy plastic hinges have given out, due to the stiff hinges the the lid is splitting as well. Due to the batteries being about £80 each, I found the price was too high.
On e bay I found a computer for my wife it is IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T42 cost £99 + postage, she has had it 4 months. I’m really impressed with this computer I bought one for myself. The specs for mine are

It does only have 2 usb 2 ports but I have a 4way hub.
The only difference between mine and the wifes’ is she has had a 160gb hard drive fitted cost £80.00
but it still makes it a good buy for a computer of that spec.
