Hi and welcome to my blog,

I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!



I need a laptop for school (10th grade). Mainly only for typing up papers, facebook, and surfin the web. I don’t really have to store documents on it soo the memory shouldn’t be a big issue. I have some pictures but i could store them on a flash drive. I put an add on craigslist for a used laptop because i have to buy my own with my christmas money (5) and someone responded with this offer, which was the only one within my budget. Do you think its a good deal and what questions should I ask the seller?

I have a Toshiba laptop you may be interested in. It is a P III at 850 mhz , 512 ram running XP-Home. I think the Hard Drive is 20 gig ? Not sure of that. I have the owners manual on the desktop. It is in good condition except the battery is shot. I have the AC adapter and it runs fine as long you plug it in. I also have a Wi-Fi card which works good at Borders etc.

We are a non-smoking home and it is in shiny condition , looks and runs good. I am not a computer whiz and bought this before I bought my better laptop as a temp substitute.

I have a non-matching mouse to go with it but it does have the little touch point to control the mouse. I may have a case for it. It also has a DVD rom drive and works to watch movies ( the main reason I bought it ).
Price is 0 firm , let me know.

    Well for the price and what you are looking for it doesnt sound to bad I guess…. But if it was me personally I think I would wait a little longer save money and get a new netbook. You can get something way more powerfull for under 300 dollars. Please note that this is just coming from my opinion and experience with having bought used electronics including a used laptop before. The problem with buying used like that is you dont know what youre getting, there’s no garuntees or warranty. It sounds like you dont want to spend very much, and you dont need something real powerful but in the long run I think you would be happier if you got something like a good netbook for not that much more money, and then you would be getting something brand new with a warranty.
