Old Laptop? It is not that old. I was using a 500 MHZ Pentium 3 Dell which i still have. Now that is old! Do u really think it is the whole screen? There are no dead pixels or anything like that. Well the screen is not damaged but some of the rest of it is .. sort of.... The left speaker is missing a chunk of plastic near the bottom and the left side where the my dvd/cdrw drive is the corner is kind of missing, the drive still opens and it functional. It might have been dropped or hit by something, but i dont think that could effect the screen? The laptop is a good laptop. I am looking at some nice mac laptops, but this is a good windows laptop. I have 2 programs that i use on windows that i do not want to get the mac version for them right now, so i use my laptop for them. I have a mac g4 that i use for my personal use. This laptop i do some of my business work on, but it is not owned by my bussiness. As long as i remember to hit ctrl alt delete like 20 times then it will boot up normally when that happens. Is there anyone our there that specializes in laptops? Thank you for all the suggestions so far but i would like more please!
