[Scubadude]

Hi all,
c
Item Wanted: Basic Laptop. Early i5 or i7? Legal Windows (and Office if possible).
Packaging Essential: Only if shipping is required
Desired Age: Probably old
Location: Pretoria / Centurion / East Rand / Johannesburg
Willing to accept a shipped item: Prefer collection
Ballpark/Budget Amount: R 2000 - 2500max

I am between jobs at the moment. Turns out working from home is not so great for me of the or the missus. Cant carry my desktop machine around so I need a basic but reliable machine for a bit of mobility. Something that is basically fully depreciated and can be resold for similar money when I land a job. I troll employment portals, do word processing and basic financial modelling in excel. Nothing too fancy but must be in good, stable, working condition, have at least 2.5 hours battery life. Bag not required.

I was going to buy this, but forgot about it.

Thanks that's an option ... Will keep it in mind but was hoping to squeeze a bit more performance out of the budget. I still have an old HP620 around and if the 630 is anything like that it is only good enough to monitor security cameras or play movies.

Sorted. Thanks to an angel that crossed my path ...
