I just sold the IBM laptop (with the wicked cool ) I bought in '94 to a man in UAE for $300. He gladly paid shipping.
It was still working just fine.
Since then I've had a few IBM/Lenovo lemons- The 770 burnt out a few processors, the T22s the board comes unsoldered, early T61s Nvidea card would fail, and the new T at work was terrible.
What impressed me was the warranty service on the 770. Each time it fried they shipped a box next day air, repaired the computer and got it back to FedEx same day!
Everything can have a problem.
But how they took care of a problem really, really impressed me.

One thing I've always wondered about: When you buy Microsoft Office, can the separate the parts of it that you don't want be deleted from the computer?

It used to be that you could just install the parts that you wanted. I don't know if that still applies. My current version is 2010.

There's too many free office suites, and they're too good to go spend $ on Microsoft stuff.
Do you need something advanced?
99% of people 99% of the time could still use Office 95 for what they do.
say
LibreOffice-
Installer lets you choose what to install, just like MS Office.
Free to try- And they update to newer versions constantly.
Only diff is that new version is freeeeeeeee

I don't need it yet -- for when I've sold out, hitting the road and getting a laptop.
MS Word is the only thing I use, the other stuff is wasted space.

Blanche found a good Ebay deal but something didnt ring true there. 1 TB of storage for $330?
Dont think so... Probably a scam.
There are new cheapie laptops for under $300 though, most any electronics store, Dell website, that sort of place. Right now on Dell.com: “starting at $249.99 for a 15” laptop”
Inspiron 15 3000
