That laptop is a great deal, go on and get it. Install a fresh copy of XP on it, and enjoy the mobility of a laptop ^_^!

Why would anybody want to stick with an inferior, out-dated and potentially insecure due to lack of future updates, OS?
That just seems daft..

It's all opinion, let him get Vista if he hates it well get him some XP.

Because Vista is not worth it to go to. I'd rather stick with XP and get nice performance and have better control of my PC -- or go to Linux where I can get all of the goodies of Vista and more (besides, I wouldn't touch Vista without at least 2GB of RAM). Hell, I ain't stopping you, just please, for pete's sake. do a fresh install!!

also, for that matter, what's kept you from putting Vista on your desktop anyway?

Well scratch that, went up to 300$ in like under 30 minutes =(. I might be able to find another one, I dunno.

Found another one http://cgi.ebay.com/COMPAQ-PRESARIO-...QQcmdZViewItem wish it had specs though

or the lolercopter laptop: http://cgi.ebay.com/Compaq-V6719NR-L...QQcmdZViewItem look at that price 26 bucks O.o.

I wouldn't count on finding a laptop that can run Vista for under $300 unless there is something big wrong with it. Note the first one ended at $380 and the 2nd has a Reserve. If the reserve is not met then the seller could cancel the auction anyway (and if it sells under $300 probably would).
