Is this deal worth it for this laptop???

[Jordan311]

My friend has a toshiba satellite a205 he wants to sell. I might buy it from him for $450.
It's 2007. It has a 15.4" widescreen display. Windows Vista basic. intel pentium dual core processor T2330 1.60 Ghz. 1GB of RAM. 110GB hard drive space. full wi-fi and all that jazz. Mobile intel 965 graphics.

I think thats all the important info...

I'm not too thrilled with the graphics or the ram from what I can tell. i don't know a whole lot about laptop specs, so would it be worth it for me to even buy this? Or hold out on a better laptop for a few hundred bucks more?

I'd want to do some moderate gaming at decent-high settings, like at least capable for WoW, and be able to do some photoshopping and whatnot on it also.


Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

if you're trying to do moderate gaming, that is definatley not the laptop for you, pay a couple hundred more and upgrade.

also if you still wanna check this one out, use the laptop and goto

put in the game you wanna run, and itll see if you're computer can run it, though make sure your latop is plugged in otherwise (most likely) wont be running at full performance.

It's pretty sweet for the money. I'm enjoying the shit out of it so far. Gotta find out if its gonna be possible to upgrade the RAM and graphics card on it, though, cuz right now its a bit slooooooooooooow

you should put that $350 into drinks for females at the bar...


that way you could FMB....TOUGH

[$lmjimy311]

yea you most likely wont be able to upgrade the graphics card, its an intel which means its most likely integrated.

ram should be easily upgradable but not the graphics adapter. I'd look towards stuffing 4gigs of ram in there and tossing on a 64bit OS.
