Laptop Specs & Review

worth 600 dollars usd?

I have a friend who is local in a bind needs cash willing to sell me his mint HP Compaq NC6000 Notebook for 600 dollars

I wanted to get some opinions if its worth the 600 dollars

its only got the ati 32 mb dedicated video card.

My only plan is to have a portable lappy for using on web design work, simple html, no flash, definitely watching dvd movies on the go, and some light gaming like quake 1 or 2 old but goodie games.

Currently my ASUS P4 ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 w/ 60 gig 7200 RPMS 512 DDR RAM is ideal for everything else but its soooo not portable, heats up a lot, battery barely 1 hour if that. so I need the A/C adapter with me everywhere I go.

I want a laptop that needs no cables what so ever and can be very portable.

Any opinions!?

If your not buying it then I am.

Edit: You say it only had 32mb but the link from notebookreviews has it as 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9600.

What's going on?

There are two models. If you had it custom built like I did, you have to wait a while, but you can get an SXGA+ screen and 64 mb video card. Otherwise you're stuck with 32mb and an XGA screen. That is an outrageously low price. I'd buy If I were you. That machine is easily worth $1000. Great computer, nice and light with plenty of power. Plus, for a few hundred you could upgrade the processor all the way to 2.0 GHz and the RAM, giving you a computer that could be worth $2000 for only about $900.

Ah, that makes sense then with the VRam. Thanks for clearing that up.

If you dont get it, maybe you could post it up here for sale.. like Vergara, I wouldnt mind buying it myself.

its a good deal. can't go wrong. 1.5 banias, 14" screen. i am getting a simular used lappy in pretty good condition later today, it has a 1.3 banias

someone can buy my nc6000 .

For 600?

It is a nice laptop, buy it. Mine is a bit higher-end, but it is a very well-made laptop.

so for the money its good for the following uses?

web desiging, lite small flash stuff, wireless, web surfing, lite gaming example quake 1 or 2 maybe counterstrike 1.6, photoshop?

you're in the clear for all of those, P-shop might be a tad on the slowish end, but very much workable

Its a real deal. If you didn't report the reason I'd say it's too good to be true.

the NC6000 is a great laptop.

well I got two of them NC 6000 for 600 each, and I am buying a 3rd one this coming week. I am happy to say the two I received are in flawless condition. Some might say it could of come right off the truck itself that new. Anyhow I installed every app I need and I notice the difference between my p4 and this new centrino I am using to write this reply.

My next question should I keep this one I have or sell it at market price to buy a newer centrino with 128 VRAM or the 256 one i keep hearing about? any thoughts?

Okay, excuse me? Did you just say that you bought 2 of them at 600 each?

That settles it, those laptops must be "hot" IE: Stolen.
