My brothers dad wants a laptop for ebay stuff and mail probably. Anyone know of a cheap laptop for this that can take broadband internet (i duno if lappys need special modems or not or bits inside) i presume modems from isps will be fine tho yeah i mean lappys usually have lan ports on them dont they?
 
Not sure if he wants such a long contract, and lookin to get a used laptop maybe for say 50-100 quid tho i really duno how much he wants to spend for just a 1.5ghz somit or other with a gig or ram just somit good enough for web browsing/ebay/mail usage as i said before. Oh and 1024x display or somit.

Noticed you put a wanted post, personally I wouldn't buy a second hand laptop, the lithium battery will probably be on it's way out, and they're pretty expensive to replace- for a budget, used old laptop not worth it.

Surely the battery doesnt matter if its for mains powered 90% of the time i duno if he would use it for mobility purposes.

Saw on the bay loads of batterys about 20 quid so hopefully if a used lappy had a crap battery he could replace it i guess.
