    Dell Latitude C640 1.8 GHZ
    RAM 512
    HDD 40GB
    DVD RW

    for only 255 USD plus 40 to bring it back in my country. Wow its really cheap for me now that i can convert the dollars in my currency LEK i win a lot.

    Many thanks. Not necessarily was i looking for those specs.

    I was just trying to find a really cheap laptop to run Linspire 6.

    I also find a 2.8GHZ intel genuine celeron 1gb ram for 355 USD and this was the greatest laptop.

    So many thanks Zach

    LInux is easy enough for people. For example if you know how to turn on your TV ,you can be a LInux normal user. Just use the most appealing distro to you. And of course ,you should read a little bit more than in Windows.

    I am using Linspire 6 from 3 months now ,and i am extremely happy with its stronger point CNR(Click and Run Software) where you can install anything with a simple mouse click . More easier than this ,i really don't know what is.

    Laptop is not that powerfully. It is good for business or just for travel. The desktop is the best one and overall powerful computer. Why do you need laptop for ? For emulators..like PCSX2 ?? Then it is a crap. It is better for desktop but if you are doing it something else like email, chat and many things then you should buy cheaper laptop such as 400-600 dollars.

    People are entitled to their own opinions about Laptops, but if they think powerful models don't exist, they are honestly fooling themselves.

    It comes down to what your needs are, and what you are willing to spend. Period.

    I can have wireless in my Desktop but with the speed max to 2MB or if i am lucky 3MB, in Hot spots i download with 11MB minimum download speed,so that's a big difference.
