Did I get a good deal on this laptop?

I bought this laptop of a mate:

Packard Bell EasyNote
Intel Centrino Pentium M 1.73GHz processor
512mb RAM
Windows XP Home

All for £200?

Thanks

Sounds a bit expensive given the spec

Laptops go for nothing now, considering a Core 2 1.4ghz, 2GB RAM, 160GB RAM, 15" widescreen goes for £330, new.

Old laptop would need a new battery, so once you factor that in there's little point buying a used laptop, if it's anything more than give away prices.

Get him to give you £100 back

Well a P4 2.8 with 1gb or RAM went recently on the bay for 180 inc p+p

Are you sure he's a mate

Slightly over the top. I would say £150 would be a fair price

Never mind it was my fault not doing my research. Deals a deal. I'll keep it and try to sell it to someone with a lot less knowledge than me
