4220t armada worth ?
Hi, I really don't know a whole lot about use prices for laptops, I have
a chance to get a 4220t Armada with a be that holds the cd-rom and battery with JLB speakers, bateries are ion-lithium, screen is tft ad looks good, ram is maxed out at 96mb, floppy drive, a mini marble size tracking ball has been installed, and there is a US Robotics 56k modem. The person wants $200 for this set up, I would use it mainly for web browsing while laying down. Is this a fair price or should I look for something with a built-in cd-rom. It is a Pentuim mmx. Thanks, Pip |

Try Ebay as they have one listed there.

No.
Decent machine, but too old to be reliable. Screen is likely close to shot, hinges are almost guaranteed to me. Processor is slow -- original pentium. Save you moeny for a decent, modern one.

Guys, thanks for your replies, but $200 is the limit, I guess a better
question would be, given just a $200 budget could I do better. Pip |

Well, the newer the better. Laptops don't age gracefully. That's why I'd
recommend against a 4220 -- a 1997 vintage. Just browse ebay and look at what's available. $200 is going to be tough. wrote in message ... Guys, thanks for your replies, but $200 is the limit, I guess a better question would be, given just a $200 budget could I do better. Pip |

Last I saw up for auction on Ebay was about $60.00.

Thanks Tom, so if $200 is all I have to spend, then it might not be a
bad deal after all. Pip |

True. Check the hinges and make sure the screen works perfectly.
