I have a toshiba Satellite pro u400 laptop

13.3" LCD screen
Intel Core2 Duo 1.8Ghz
3Gb RAM
150Gb HDD
Win7
Built in Webcam, Bluetooth, Wifi, DVD-RW drive.

Good little lightweight computer powerful enough to run solidworks.

Was an ex-student machine before they broke the screen and decided they didnt want it. I rescued it and sent it back to toshiba for a new screen and have been using it for a year now.


The case has a few marks on it, some of the little stick on rubber feet are missing and the volume control wheel on the front of the case has been lost. (you can still control the volume within windows)

Internally it works perfectly and I would happily contune using it however I have been given a macbook as a thankyou present for doing someone a favour


Pretty good little machine which should be good for a few years. After £150 posted for it.

We have bought 2 netbooks from this seller on ebay : currys_pcworld

Its currys / pcworlds ebay shop where they repair customer returns & sell them on, you get a 3 month guarantee.

I paid £133 delivered for a nice little 10" netbook & have had it 4 months now, it works spot on for me.

Some may not deal with a 10" screen too well but i travel a lot & wanted something small just for internet surfing & emailing.

Might be worth a look

That depends what you want to do with it... 512mb of RAM really is not enough to run firefox, letalone anything else at the same time!
