My brothers girlfriend is selling a laptop for £100, there isn't anything wrong with it or else she wouldn't sell it to me.
It is a Compaq Armada M700 laptop with the following:
Windows 98
Memory 192.0 MB of RAM
Memory 5.58 GB
CD compartment
Leads for use of the mains aswell as a battery
Comes with its own carry case
IS that ok?

not much room for you pron collection, but looks pretty reasonable to me if you only want it for the work we allegedly do
That laptop is a bit of a steal for a ton. It hasn't got the largest hard disk in the world, but it'll store a fair-few albums in mp3 format. Note that the laptop speakers are unlikely to be any good, but you should be able to plug it into a stereo, some headphones or some computer speakers.
Assuming your landlord has some kind of network already set up, you will only need to plug it into your laptop's network adaptor socket (and possibly do a bit of twiddling in Windows, which your landlord/network admin should be able to help with). Cross this bridge when you come to it, though.

Wow, one of those phrases I love! No offence to you, it just bugs me when people say stuff like "doesn't have internet on" or "my internet's broken" as though the Internet is some kind of single entity they have stored on their computer. Ha.
Could i add more memory?
And another thing..i don't remember much about this PC i'm on now since it's a family computer and i just take for granted it has internet on. I'm moving into a house with internet connection and the landlord said i could hook up to that connection. If the laptop doesn't have internet on what do i need to do to get it on. I know i need a modem, so once i got that do i just plug it in and away i go or do i need a special programme.
As i said i'm a bit dumb when it comes to stuff like this, if anything goes wrong i just get my bro-in-law or my lil brother to sort it, but i'll be a few hundred miles away so i'll be relying on myself!

Its not very much really, added to the 650Mhz processor it wont be a flying machine. The 5.58GB hard drive is tiny, an album is typically 45-50MB so you could fit over 100 albums on there, but when you take into account the space taken up by documents and other programs it's really not a lot to play with. The hard drive in this computer is 120GB and ive completely filled it on 3 occasions.

I suppose it would make a good word processor/internet browsing computer.
It's just for Uni..it's got windows 98 on it so that'll do for essays and i'm hoping it'll have internet for msn and research. And it should play music..that's all i want it for, music, essays and msn!
Depends what you want it for? If it will do the things you want, then yes, it probably is OK. How old is it? Is the battery still OK cos they do lose performance over time..
