Bargain

And it's actually still in stock.

Most of the time the deals that Bigpockets mails me are sold out whenever I look

For those that live in London or close to, Tottenham Court Road is also a good place for good cheap computers...Go with £££'s in yer hand and you can pick up decent spec machines for next to nothing...Buy without OS and they are even cheaper..

I've not heard good things about Gateway...seems a decent spec though..

nice
sort of related question then.


I got a HP laptop the when I put a ethernet cable into the RJ45 port it is loose and comes out.

How easy or difficult is it to open up that laptop and replace the RJ45 plug connector?

My bro has dismantled his HP Easynote as it fails to work, it looks like you can undo the back of the ethernet port and possibly swap the inside of the plug, but as for replacing the whole port, its soldered and riveted on.
