Mature and robust Acer 5633WLMi laptop and case on offer. The battery was replaced last year, but, due to the age of the technology, it probably only lasts around 90 minutes on a full charge.

Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5500, 15.4" WXGA Crystalbrite LCD monitor, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 120GB HDD, DVD-Super Multi double layer drive, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 802.11 a/b/g built in wifi, 1.3MP camera (I know, that's pathetic by modern standards, but it's still a camera!).

It originally came with Windows XP loaded but that became obsolete some time ago. I have just installed antiX Linux which is completely FREE. If you know Linux, you'll also know that it comes with a stack of software packages that integrate with the Windows versions, e.g. a full Office suite of apps, internet and email browser apps, video/audio/graphic management apps etc. etc. - again ALL FREE. Linux is also generally completely virus free, so you won't have to mess about with virus checkers.

There is an FAQ icon on the home screen which gives you loads of information about how to maximise your use of the antiX OS.

Because of the Linux OS, this needs to be taken on by someone who is either already comfortable with working in a Linux environment or is prepared to commit to investing the time to work it out. (I've been a Linux user for almost 20 years without the inevitable Windows upgrade costs, and don't regret it a bit).

If you would like this item, please convince me you are the right person to take it off my hands. It would suit a household with no other hardware apart from mobiles who need something more chunky for studies, for example. If you just say "is it still available?", I'm afraid I'll ignore you.

Please check your Spam/Junk folder regularly if you message me about this as replies often end up there. I will deal only with people who communicate promptly.
