Questions & Comments

Does it work

Feb 1st, 2013 at 4:46:09 PM PST by

those pics were today and it appears to be on.. So I would have to say Yes. It works..

Feb 1st, 2013 at 7:37:40 PM PST by

what would be a reason to cancel the auction, just wondering?

Feb 3rd, 2013 at 3:42:57 AM PST by

Act of god, Damage to the laptop. Tribe of pygmies abducting my dog for ransom. The guy who has said he wants to buy it for a year actually shows up with money.. I told a friend if I sold it he had first dibs. I gave him a month and well.. I listed it. if he showed up and cried and stuff i could break down and sell it to him. but I dount that will happen.

Feb 3rd, 2013 at 11:17:14 PM PST by

Wow!I have one just like this,I can't believe you didn't set a GIN,if people only knew what kind of deal they are getting....Good luck :)

Feb 8th, 2013 at 8:48:17 AM PST by

Yea in hindsight a GIN might have been smart. Its hard to tell people that this outperforms many of the desktops currently surfing listia.. that and the fact that they are still making drivers for the hardware means its far from obsolete. I really debated keeping it and taking a negative feedback but that ruins the fun of listia.. Thanks, Bob

Feb 8th, 2013 at 12:32:36 PM PST by

You said "everything is stock less the Hard drive and Memory" I understand that this laptop includes no hard drive, but why did you include the memory in that statement? Has the memory been upgraded or something? Can you verify the installed amount for me?

Lastly, the new video card you installed is the same stock configuration as it was originally sold, correct?

Thanks!

Feb 2nd, 2013 at 11:04:19 AM PST by

For those that want to run the service tag. The HD and Memory is different, the video card is identical . It has (1) 1GB and (1) 512MB stick in it. Not what it originally came with it. The video card is a replacement card identical to the one that shipped with it that was purchased to replace the dead video card.

Feb 2nd, 2013 at 1:50:06 PM PST by

I would have wept real tears if this went for 3000 credits. Ive seen junk laptops go on here for more.. and this is not junk.. :) Sorry you'll have to bid like everyone else.. its funner i think.. except that one guy who always bids the last 2 seconds and beats me every time.. you know who you are.. hahah teasin..

Feb 7th, 2013 at 6:48:08 PM PST by

Even better...l have a Dell XP recovery disc...should load up nice and easy. Maybe if l don't get the laptop I'll Listia it to the winning bidder. ;)

Feb 7th, 2013 at 6:52:05 PM PST by

Today i installed Windows XP media Center Edition 2003 on a system that I had no OS for. I used OEM install disks and used the key found on the licence on the case./ Went smoothly no problems at all. Been a long time since i have used xp.. I dont remember it being this fast.. Something you might want to consider with Windows XP 64. The 3rd party driver support from hardware manufacturers was lacking. i sold my copy xp64 shortly after buying it due to the lacking support by both Microsoft and the manufacturer of my guitar effects processors and such. I wasnt impressed with xp64

Feb 10th, 2013 at 11:03:37 PM PST by

Is purchasing or having a hard driven installed expensive?? Sniping to 98226?

Feb 6th, 2013 at 11:29:26 AM PST by

Sorry...SHIPPING..not snipping lil.

Feb 6th, 2013 at 11:30:15 AM PST by

hehee.. no worries.. I read and type type-poopoo.. shipping to Bellingham would be $14.21 If your coming south we could meet you in marysville if you wanted. Putting a hard drive in is very easy. you dont have to open it up.. Its just a drawer in the side.. memory is a cover on the bottom. shouldnt have to pay anyone, just put a drive in. put a cd or dvd or flashdrive with your new OS on it. and install operating System.. Its very very simple. Grab a SATA laptop drive online or at a local shop. It is very simple and can be done with any small phillips screwdriver. I'll upload pictures :)

Feb 7th, 2013 at 7:22:53 AM PST by

if you can do it yourself not too hard or expensive. lf you have to have someone do it it might be. Plus you have to have the disk to reinstall the operating system.

Feb 7th, 2013 at 6:01:00 AM PST by

I do not have the restore disks, you can get a set of them online or use your own Install disks from an operating system you have. Ubuntu is a free operating system that isnt too bad. Or find a Windows operating system. You can download every driver made for this laptop from dell and they are all self installing with good documentation. The disk is easy to put in. I am uploading a photo of the laptop with the hard drive tray so you can see how simple it is. Like the listing as well as many comments say.. this is a Rugged laptop.. your not going to hurt it taking out the drive tray.. It is built like a tank. I dont have an extra SATA drive to put in it or i would have put one in.

Feb 7th, 2013 at 7:29:39 AM PST by

Looks like it came with WinXP Media Center from the config from Dell. ls that what the License sticker on the bottom says?

Feb 7th, 2013 at 7:32:33 AM PST by

Actually it Shipped with Windows XP Professional. All dell Laptops at this time were not shipped with disks. They came with a recovery partition. It was extra to have them send disks. thats why all the drivers are readily available online. recovery disks are available on ebay for under 20 dollars. just go to Amazon or ebay and type Dell recovery disk.

Feb 7th, 2013 at 6:39:30 PM PST by

my daughter want that laptop so will yo take 3000 for it now ok 1-417-852-0761

Feb 7th, 2013 at 8:51:43 AM PST by

No way, bettylhorstman. This one's going the distance! Anyway, the current bid is already above 3000, and I have a feeling it's going much higher...

Feb 7th, 2013 at 9:03:54 AM PST by

How old is this laptop? Thanks for listing! looks awesome

Feb 4th, 2013 at 8:56:14 AM PST by

It was shipped 2006

Feb 4th, 2013 at 12:39:48 PM PST by

just a suggestion looks like it would fit in a flat rate priority box, or regional rate box

Feb 9th, 2013 at 5:09:15 AM PST by

yes it would ft in the super secret large flat rate box the post office hides in the back and doesnt place out in the general public area.
This box is 11.75 wide by 3 inches tall by 23.6675 long.. my concern using it is that the laptop is 11.5 inches wide offering only 1/4 inches of padding and protection. I could pad it the best i could.. put it in a garbage bag, spray expanding foam insulation in the box or pack some padding around it. And odds are it would get there without damage or incident.. I like to be safe but if you want to use flat rate large USPS and take your chances. I will not accept returns and it would be up to the winner how they want to have it shipped. I havnt priced a 17" lcd screen lately, but i suspect its more than a well padded box.. I never even considered trying to put it in a flat rate box. :) hehehe

Feb 9th, 2013 at 10:18:46 AM PST by

bro how about i offer u 20k n points right now

Feb 9th, 2013 at 7:26:03 AM PST by

I cannot. Sorry.. in fairness to everyone watching and askign questions. i just cannot.,

Feb 9th, 2013 at 10:08:38 AM PST by

Betty u do mean point right? make sure your daughter understands it has NO HARDRIVE..which its not much to buy another one internal or external

Feb 9th, 2013 at 7:27:51 AM PST by

hey Seattle i just bought a dell d520 latitude and i got it came with 32 bit but they send 2 OS cd's for 64bit and 32 bit..i changed it right over to 64..Im gonna switch the whole OS to linux..u have any experiance with it? Ur comp is just what i need, i woulndt even buy a HD, id boot from usb, i want it just to get on dark net where alll the awesome stuff is..lol

Feb 9th, 2013 at 7:32:10 AM PST by

ive been playing with Ubuntu and am pretty impressed, It installed most all the drivers without issue. I noticed as far as the M90 goes there is talk of some issues they are resolving with the GeForce FX 1500m. and the latest ubuntu release. I am only familiar with ubuntu and a little red hat. Linux. I dont know enough to offer up an opinion except I do see the hardware is supported. i use Ubuntu 64. on my current laptop.Its pretty solid however some of the install methods for programs is barbaric.. hehehe Im not to familier with the darknet.. i have heard of the undernet and felonynet.. but not darknet. would have to look in the forums. In order to use the dell OEM disk you might have to modify the image as this one is XP pro.

Feb 9th, 2013 at 10:07:23 AM PST by

Feb 9th, 2013 at 7:34:01 PM PST by

Approx-ball park....what would a hard drive cost for this?
Great Auction fanned and watching

Feb 10th, 2013 at 6:57:21 AM PST by

depends on what size you want. on average a new retail boxed 320 GB drive around 60 to 80 dollars. I would expect to spend no less than 40 (the average price for a New OEM 120GB SATA laptop drive) But you can also get them used from sites like this one or CList EvilBay and many others

Feb 10th, 2013 at 10:36:50 PM PST by

I can't get it but you intellect and proper use of English impressed me so I fanned you. :)

Feb 5th, 2013 at 3:21:08 AM PST by

Thanks. I fanned ya back cuz your from Washington too and have red hair as well. Viva La Gingers!

Feb 4th, 2013 at 12:11:28 PM PST by

You are correct.. That is the configuration it shipped with new from dell. the laptop is the same less hard drive and it has 1.5g ram.. just some sticks I tossed in it of ddr2 so i didnt lose them.

Feb 4th, 2013 at 12:36:18 PM PST by

can you ship to canada too? How much will it be?

Feb 3rd, 2013 at 8:37:11 PM PST by

To be honest I wont ship to canada. I dont like all the forms, Standing in line at the post office and it generally is a pain in the butt. Im really sorry but Its not something we like to do.

Feb 3rd, 2013 at 11:12:56 PM PST by

very nice i will be trying to get this I'm using the xps m170 model right now and this is starting to go out on me prefect timing F&W

Feb 3rd, 2013 at 7:02:51 PM PST by

Many of the parts are interchangeable. Batttery, etc... Best of luck and you already know how these ones perform. No need to sell you.

Feb 3rd, 2013 at 11:26:12 PM PST by

Good call on no GIN...you never know where the bidding will go. I had a piece of Jewelry on here which sold for over 100,000...I wouldn't have set the GIN that high. You never know. Shipping to 21804, please.

Feb 3rd, 2013 at 7:22:01 AM PST by

Nvm, sorry.

Feb 2nd, 2013 at 5:34:59 PM PST by

The video card was replaced, While waiting for its replacement I began using a HP G60 and found I preferred the lighter laptop. I love the M90 but it it very heavy to lug around. Its been sitting in that box for almost a year.

Feb 2nd, 2013 at 7:45:36 PM PST by

My only concern would be the dead video card.

Feb 2nd, 2013 at 5:34:11 PM PST by

it has been replaced

Feb 4th, 2013 at 12:40:23 PM PST by

Thanks for not setting a GIN. :)
