Dell Latitude E6500 Refurbished Notebook PC - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, 4GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, DVDRW, 15 Display, Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit at TigerDirect.com
This is a refurbed laptop. I understand that Dell Latitudes are pretty stout. My question here is really about the Win 7 32 bit OS. All of the rest of the specs on this laptop make it pretty hot.
There is a real lack of decent low priced laptops that have Win 7. In contrast, last June, I bought a new Toshiba Satellite laptop with Win 7 64 bit, and a 1.3 ghz AMD CPU and 4 gb of ram (from BestBuy). I paid $309 for it and it is of decent quality and scoots right along in every respect. There just does not seem to be anything comparable out there today. There are plenty of things with Win 8 but I would not touch them with a ten foot pole.
This computer would be for my friend for whom I have been working on his laptop. I sat here in my living room running his LT side by side with my Toshiba AMD and in every respect his is just a total dog, even in sending out email. So It is time to replace it.
He is a real novice and has no temperament for a temperamental, slow or balky computer. He will be using it for only internet and email stuff. I guess we got along real well with only 32 bit OS's for a long time and my primary PC's are still only 32 bit XP's and they work real fine.
What do you think?
