[Note: this isn't my first time on carbonite, nor my first account on here.]
As the title implies, I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on what I should do here.
I am using the desktop daily, but loadshedding has basically brought my motivation to use it to basically nothing.
I often visit family, and I'd just like to move around. With all that, I'm financially broke.
(simplified/shortened) Specs of the combo in question:
-> Tower:
> Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 - 2 Cores, 4 Threads @ 3.1Ghz, no Boost
> Memory: 12GB dual channel DDR3 @ 1333MHz - 8+4GB modules
> Graphics: (Palit) GeForce GT 710 - 2GB DDR3
> Storage: 64GB ADATA SSD + 320GB Hitachi HDD @ 5400RPM
> Case: Thermaltake - Unknown model
> Extra: Samsung Super WriteMaster DVD Drive, and a GreenPower external 2.5" & 3.5" HDD enclosure
-> Monitor:
> Brand & Model: Dell SE2219H
> Panel Type: 21.5" IPS LED
> Panel Info: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz
> Ports: 1x HDMI 1.4 - 1x VGA (D-Sub)
One major issue that I've not been able to fix, is the built-in realtek audio card/chip on the intel motherboard, is dead.
Therefore I have an HDMI to VGA and 3.5mm audio converter/splitter, and (did not hard)wired the audio jack to the front audio out jack on the PC case.
Additional info of whatever laptop that might end up going my way, that might help:
> Item Wanted: a Laptop of any kind, but with performance that is equal, or better than my desktop.
> Packaging Essential: At least neatly packaged in some sort of box, with packing material.
> Desired Age: anything from the last decade and a bit more.
> Location: Any, but preferred pretoria east, near menlyn if pick-ups are available.
> Willing to accept a shipped item: Yes, with postnet.
> Ballpark/Budget Amount: Basically nothing, as I am financially broke. I only have enough for when there's shipment involved.
FYI
