Believe it or not, some techies value built-in serial on a laptop.

You can connect to a lot of equipment locally using the COM port.

At least there aren't many to sell....maybe 10-11 units.

Oh please, spam off.

it looks like there are ten of these no more woot off.

Didn't one of these guys admit he himself sent the nude photo's (of himself) to the girls ? >

Sure they are a bit aged and the specs are certainly nothing to game on. But for office use or a gift to a older person who would use it for simple tasks it would be fine. I'm pretty sure that CPU is more powerful than more expensive netbooks have.

If I had someone to give this to as a gift I certainly would have snatched one.

Wow, they actually listed storing data and no wires (for surfing) as features.

I'm givin it 10 more minutes then it's off to bed for me...tired of wasting my time on this junkoff

Agreed. Cisco products say hello.

I would hope so! I mean 80GB is such a huge amount of data, and surfing the web is so much faster without wires!

Can you easily downgrade to Xp with this?

Don't most modern woot-offs end with some kind of caped mammal? I might be green but rarely do they end with a coveted brisket on corn.

That laptop is worthy of a Big o' Cosmos. $249 is a lot to pay for a laptop that sports a CDRW 80gb HD and a max of 4gb of ram. (NERD RAGE!!!!!!!)

where are the Bisons Of Colorado

Yessir. Or upgrade to windows 7

Could this computer be used to connect to my dial-up AOL account? I got a free CD saying "300 hours Free"...

Dell would have to pay me to take this pile. 1997 Called and wants the laptop back. Seriously the styling on this thing is atrocious.

The funny joke is all our bags of crap will be one of these, Woot just has to many apparently.

lunaticcore wrote:Can you easily downgrade to Xp with this?

They originally sold this model with XP and therefore have drivers available, so if you have a license for XP, downgrading shouldn't be a problem.

$250 is just $50 too much for this but i gotta say, that wireless A is mighty tempting

ahahahahaha then visit your site on geo cities.

I don't think this is a terrible deal. if I had the funds I would pull the trigger as I could use a laptop and I don't need anything high end.

The good:

the T7300 scores faster than than most $250 laptops on passmarks chart (1,149).

It has one of trackstick, personally I like those, some don't but they don't really get in the way if you don't.

Its small and light.

On the downside:

The HD is only 80gb.

It has Windows Vista.

Keep in mind though that 80gb is a lot of space for a 'second' computer that you use to browse the web and basic business tasks.

Load Ubuntu

This was a fine system when I bought it for my son for college --- in 2008 (and yes, it ran XP)

It's more powerful than an iPad too, and that fact is about as relevant.
