Question by ednutty me: Where and how can I get fairly used but functioning laptops at the cheapest rates for re-sale in Africa?
I'm in computer sales and supplies here in NIgeria. My aim is to buy fairly used laptops, particularly the Pentiums I and II, (and III, IV of course) for re-sale in Nigeria. The use of desktops have been hampered by the erratic power supply here. So we are trying to encourage the use of laptops.

- Apple's Thinnest Design Yet
- 1.86 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor
- 256 GB Solid State Drive, 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM
- NVIDIA GeForce 320M Integrated Graphics, 13.3 inch LED Display
- Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard Operating System
The 13.3" MacBook Air Notebook Computer from Apple is an extremely portable, stunningly designed laptop computer. Apple's engineers have leveraged the lessons they learned in designing the miniaturized iPad and applied them to the design of this 2.9-pound computer. The original MacBook Air's slim profile was made possible due to the lack of an optical drive. This system eschews the hard drive as well - opting instead for 256GB of flash storage - resulting in an even slimmer profile.When closed, the computer is only 0.68" at its thickest point. Flash storage doesn't just give you a lighter, thinner computer. It also allows for impressive battery life - up to 7 hours of web browsing and an amazing 30 days of standby time! The MacBook Air is housed in an aluminum unibody enclosure, which is as strong as it is light. Because it is cut from a solid block of aluminum, the housing is stronger than those found on laptops built via traditional means.The computer's high-resolution display makes working on the go a breeze. At 13.3" in size, the 16:10 display feature a native resolution of 1440 x 900 - equal to that of the 15.4" MacBook Pro! It features a glossy finish and a LED backlight for enhanced image quality and energy efficiency. Computers in the MacBook Air's weight class are most often classified in the "netbook" category. Netbooks typically feature less-than-full-size keyboards, cramped trackpads and low-powered CPUs. Not so with the MacBook Air. Introducing the new MacBook Air, the most mobile Mac in every way, shape, and form. It features all-flash storage, a Multi-Touch trackpad, a long-lasting battery, a high-resolution display, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and NVIDIA graphics. All inside a unibody enclosure that's light, thin, and strong enough to handle all your everyday tasks and then some, whether you're on the couch, in a lecture hall, or at a conference. It's mobility mastered.  The Apple MacBook Air--light, thin, and strong enough to take with you wherever you go. | This version of the MacBook Air sports an 13.3-inch high-resolution display, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 256 GB of flash memory storage, 2 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor, an SD card slot, and up to 7 hours of battery life. (See full specs below.) It also comes with the Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system as well as the iLife '11 software suite, which includes the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.  | Free Upgrade to OS X Lion This Mac comes pre-installed with OS X Snow Leopard, but you can order a free upgrade to OS X Lion via Apple's OS X Lion Up-To-Date program for a limited time (depending on the date of your purchase). Purchased Between June 6 and July 20, 2011 If you purchased a new Mac with OS X Snow Leopard from Amazon between these dates, you must enter your order from the Apple Online Store by August 19, 2011. | Purchased After July 21, 2011 If you purchased a new Mac with OS X Snow Leopard from Amazon after the official OS X Lion release date (on or after July 21, 2011), you must enter your order within 30 days of the date of your purchase. | | Learn more about the OS X Lion Up-To-Date Program and enter your order at Apple.com. | |  The MacBook Air with 13.3-inch screen (see larger image). Key Features Flash Memory Storage By replacing the standard spinning hard drive typically found in laptops (as well as desktop PCs) with flash memory, the MacBook Air delivers an almost instantaneous boot-up when you open the display, as well as faster application launches and snappier overall performance. Additionally, Apple has shed the enclosure that typically surrounds flash memory (usually about the same size as a standard hard drive), thus giving it a smaller footprint and helping to decrease the size of the MacBook Air. Glass Multi-Touch Trackpad With the addition of the smooth, glass Multi-Touch trackpad previously found on other MacBook models, the MacBook Air makes it even easier to navigate Mac OS X and your software applications. You can pinch, swipe or rotate images on the display screen with the brush of two fingers, or add more digits for a four-fingered vertical swipe to open Expose and quickly glance at all of your open windows. Integrated FaceTime Webcam You'll be able to easily connect with friends, family, and business colleagues using the MacBook Air's FaceTime camera, which is integrated into the thin bezel above the display. And with Apple's FaceTime application, you're not limited to video chats with other Macs--you can now make video calls to iPhone and iPod touch users (Wi-Fi connection required for mobile users).  The spacious, full-sized keyboard (see larger image). Intel Core 2 Duo Processing Combining fast processing speeds with power-saving features, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor provides greater multitasking performance by combining two independent processor cores while also reducing power requirements and saving on battery life. This Intel Core 2 Duo processor has a 1.86 GHz processor speed, fast 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 6 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) High Performance Graphics Powered by the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics card, the MacBook Air allows you to view flawless video in full screen HD and play the latest games with fast frame rate. It's a great match to editing video masterpieces with iMovie and managing your photos in iPhoto, and it comes with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM that's shared with main memory.

Family loves it.,
I got one of these Dell’s from the seller A Computer For Everybody. At first I was concerned with the other review but after reading the sellers feedback from other buyers, I decided to go for it. It arrived fast and worked right out of the box. I had a question about the restore CD and Customer Service was quick and answered my question. I would definitely recommend this computer to a friend.
Best regards,

|Best Bang For Your Buck In Computers!,
Look, this isn’t a computer for someone who wants to look hip or cool. It’s a tool, and it does a great job, and it’s reliable. If someone would have told me back in 1990 that I could someday buy a computer that had the power and speed of this desktop …. FOR ONLY $250!!!! …. I would have thought they were dreaming. I bought it for my son, who uses it for school and stuff, but we adults use it a lot, too. It’s great for internet, great for listening to music (cheap speakers, but I’m not picky), and great for doing bills and stuff with. A great all-around family computer that is built like a tank.

|Glad I took the chance.,
I read the negative reviews all over the web about this projector, and was nervous to even try it. Well, it was on sale on Black Friday, so I took the plunge. I’m so glad I did, because it performed better than I was expecting.
YES, the image is grainy if you make the image size 6-8 feet across.
YES, the produced image is a little less bright than what you would normally expect from a movie theater projector.
But, this product is perfectly good enough to watch some kids movies on the wall, or play some video games all blown up. I watched a couple of movies, and feel like I made a great purchase.
One other thing to realize- When you project a movie and wind up with a 6-8 foot wide image, you will think it looks grainy just like you do when you sit one foot in front of a television.
Put this projector on maximum distance from the wall, then move back as far back from the movie as possible, and you will see that the farther away you actually go from the image, the clearer it looks. This just seems like common sense.
I get the idea from other reviewers that they expect to blow up a movie to ten feet wide, sit right in front of it on their couch and expect it to look perfect without any grainy appearance. HELLO!??! They wouldn’t sit a foot away from a TV would they?
Some reviewers mentioned the fan being too loud, and that the built-in speaker was insufficient. I disagree. The speaker was actually really good on my unit, and I didn’t even hear the fan at all, laying on the floor 2 feet away from it. Don’t pay attention to those people, this thing exceeded my expectations by a mile.
How I got it setup properly: Hung a white sheet on the wall, because it is assumed white backgrounds will work best. Put DVD player and projector on foldable TV dinner table about 12 feet out from the wall, with the projector on top of a box so that I didn’t have to tilt it up too much to have the image positioned at the top of the wall. Then I turned on video source BEFORE turning on projector, then turned on projector. On the projector I adjusted the contrast by pausing a dvd when text was on the screen. Then I adjusted color. Then I focused the lens by turning the lens housing. I was also able to adjust brightness and contrast directly on my DVD player as well.
Bottom line is if you have kids, and they would get a kick out of projecting movies and games real big on the wall, get this thing.
One more thing you need to know: When you turn off the projector, the red light will flash, and the fan will keep going. This is normal. The fans in most projectors keep running to cool down the unit before totally shutting down.

|get what you pay for,
i got this for the purpose of showing movies or playing games outside on nice summer nights. the resolution is low, focus is iffy, and screen image gets nowhere near 10′ as the box states without fading too much. speaker is terrible, but you can direct the sound cables to a stereo or something that produces better quality.
high quality projectors cost $100 to RENT. low-end HQ projectors are roughly 10x the price to buy. this is an insanely cheap projector and does everything it should be expected to do at that price. the a/v inputs are versatile, and most types of computers/games/dvd players/vcrs etc. can use them (or have adapters available). used properly, it functions adequately. it’s not near perfect, but it’s a totally fair budget option, and those who feel that it isn’t have way too strong a sense of entitlement.

|Good laptop,
I bought it to replace an
off-brand model I had that blew up.
I have been very happy with the purchase
though I do recommend getting it with
windows vista because xp is going to become
obsolete. (that’s why the xp version is
so much more affordable..)
The shipping was very fast and the product
was used, but looked like it was brand new!
(It came from a company)

|Beware: Invalid License,
I bought one of these laptops two months ago. It has been working just fine. Today Microsoft told me that the license is not valid. It has a valid certificate of authenticity on the back but does not have a second “refurbished” CoA. When I look at the internal System Properties/General tab it says “XP Corporate” which means it was covered under a mass/site license which can not be transferred or sold. I will probably have to buy a fresh copy of XP ($100) and re-install.
Before I made the order I checked to see that the advertisement specified “Genuine Windows XP”. I also checked the CoA when it arrived. When the Microsoft updater offered to run “Genuine Advantage” to check the authenticity I confidently thought “sure, go right ahead.”
BEWARE!

|Got one a month ago from Toshiba Direct,
After my overpriced, underperforming, Vista disabled HP laptop died on me, I shopped around for a good deal on a budget priced, reliable laptop. Asus is the only laptop brand that has better reliability than Toshiba (see [...]). When I checked the Toshibas, this is the model they were pushing (and apparently, still are). It’s got an even bigger screen than I expected. It has a full size keyboard with a number pad on the right. It’s a little large for carting around, but it is incredibly high performing with a great display. When I put a tumb drive in to copy some folders and files, I wondered why it wasn’t working. I was used to watching the little folder transfer icons on my HP. Well, I was wrong – it did work. It just worked so quickly I didn’t even see it. It transferred a ton of data in the blink of an eye. I’ve only had it a month, so I can’t speak to longevity. But the battery life is reasonably good, and it’s a great computer – especially at the price!

|Not bad for the money,
This is a pretty good laptop for what your going to pay but there are some things that could use some work. The touchpad is a pain. While trying to move around a page, it constantly zooms in or out or slides the entire page down. That can be very annoying if you are working on a paper or something like that. I suggest if you buy this laptop to invest in an external mouse and just turn the touchpad off. Also, the speakers are terrible. If you plan on using this laptop to listen to music or stream movies, invest in some headphones or an external speaker.
Other than that, it does what I need it to do and, again, for the price, I don’t think you will find a better laptop. It runs nice and cool and is silent as a mouse.

|Perfect Balance Between Brawn & Beauty,
This review is for the 256gb SSD 13.3inch Macbook Air w/ 2gb of ram.
(Check the comments after reading the review if you’re still on the fence, I’m going over some more uses and offering more tips and advice, and if I have problems I’ll note them below, I’ll try and add a video review in a week or two showcasing everything after some more use, stay tuned!)
Here’s a short overview of the benefits of the 13.3 inch macbook air, and things you should know prior to pulling the trigger, final recommendation is at the bottom
When I heard about the air I had the follow questions / concerns. Hopefully I can ease your mind…
2gb of ram only (you can custom order 4gb but you can’t install this any time later on).
I was paranoid this computer would be unusable. I feel like I need 8 gigs of ram and a quad core machine just to run firefox (it gets so slow), not to mention the other tasks I enjoy doing. 2 GB is going to be far too much of a bottle neck… or so I thought!
2gb is ample ram. If you run out of ram, OSX writes to the hard disk (virutal ram, the stuff you’ve been told your entire life is bad and to avoid it at all costs… but with SSD, this becomes a non issue).
13.3 inch screen… Is it going to be enough to use as my main computer? Will it be too heavy to travel?
The 13.3 inch is perfect. I had a 13 inch macbook pro, I loved it, but I got rid of it because I needed a bit more screen real estate and the machine seemed a bit too slow (likely the hd was the major bottleneck).
The 13.3 inch macbook air has the resolution of a 15 inch, in the form factor of a 13 inch. It’s truly the perfect combination.
Gloss (on the air) is a non issue, unlike the macbook pro 13 inch on up (where it is a issue). I thought the gloss on here would annoy me… not a bit! It’s different.
The next concern I had was the processor. Honestly, I thought 1.86 core 2 duo was going to be a bit sluggish. Especially with 2gigs of ram… However, (I’m pleased to report), there’s been no such problem on my end (a friend of mine bought the 11inch and the speed difference is noticeable, but compared to a 15inch macbook pro (running i5) it feels about the same, only more speedy on launching.
That’s to say, with this base configuration (1.86ghz core 2 duo) you can do everything you need (including playing games like Crysis, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Starcraft) all on this little machine.
I’ve edited HD video on the unit (no problems), (though exporting is obviously much slower than on my imac, as to be expected, but editing and working on the footage was pretty much the same, it’s only in exporting where you realize the machine is slower).
All in all the processor is fine.
So let me recap.
I was afraid the processor might be a bit too slow to use as my only every day machine (turns out it’s not, granted if you edit HD video daily as your job, you might be better off with a i7… in fact you would… but if you edit video a few times a week, not a big deal).
I was hoping I might be able to play a game every now and then and was afraid the 2gb of ram and 1.86 core 2 duo would be the death of me… not even a problem. I can play call of duty modern warfare 2 (I’ll come back and let you know how Black Ops is when It comes out), and Dirt 2 with no problems (granted, I’m using low to medium settings). So the processor is not an issue.
I was afraid 2 gigs of ram was far to unacceptable (almost didn’t buy this because of it), but again, that’s not a problem. The SSD is more than zippy enough to handle any paging if required.
(I’m typing this on firefox with over 40+ tabs open, listening to music with itunes, downloading photos from my amazon s3 account, and uploading a video via FTP to a web host)
No slow down at all. I usually experience slow down on my imac with a quad core, where here I do not.
Everything is just instant.
I was worried about the screen. I’m one of those who likes taking his computer outside on the beach, at a conference, or to a local coffee shop to get work done. The macbook pro glare was unbearable. The 13 inch screen was limiting…
The Macbook Air? No such problems, glare is pretty much a nonissue, and the extra resolution is a god send (especially if you want to do any programming or editing (video or photo).
Bottom Line:
This is the perfect computer for me right now (and I do a lot of things).
I’ve edited video, worked on photo’s, wrote, and opened obscene amounts of tabs, all with no slow downs (again, applying filters in photoshop on 12+ mp files will slow down some, obviously, and exporting your HD video will be slower, but the actual working is a non…

|MacBook Air – Thin with Fewer Drawbacks!,
I do have fairly recent Mac desktops, but my own personal Mac notebook had become aged. It was a Powerbook.
With the release of iPad last Spring, I had considered not going back to owning a new notebook, with a desktop and iPad at my disposal.
However, I decided I simply need a keyboard for some on the go work, and my machine was simply too old now.
This October 2010 MacBook Air redesign is the answer for me. Furthermore, my father chose the 11.6-inch model for extreme portability traveling. I do not travel for work, so preferred the higher performance offered by the 13.3-inch model.
I will first address the 11 Versus 13 inch as I have examined both side by side:
*11-inch is shocking to see. Not only thin, but a smaller footprint. Gorgeous computer. You can notice a slight performance hit compared to a recent MacBook Pro.
*13-inch Impressive from the side profile, footprint close to a 13-inch MacBook Pro. Performance feels at or near MacBook Pro level.
In brief, the 11-inch offers a portability never seen before in a Mac notebook. The 13-inch offers “good,” portability, light weight, and you sacrifice much less performance. It seems obvious on paper that that describes the two models, and I must say, it is obvious in real world use too.
Physically, the footprint is not much different than a 13-inch MacBook or MacBook Pro that other members of my household own. However, it’s the thinness and light weight of this design that brings out the “wow,” for those who see it. If you want to use it on your lap in a large chair or sofa, it is simply comfortable.
The reason one would choose this updated 13-inch MacBook Air is simple. This particular model gives you the thinness and light “wow,” factors that defined the MacBook Air since its introduction nearly four years ago. However, this model gives you something that was not offered at this price point previously. A nearly fully functional and performing notebook computer. The included 1.86 GHZ Core 2 Duo processor is not a slouch. 2GB of memory is not bad in efficient OS X, and the 256 GB of solid state memory is not only competitive storage capacity to similar notebooks, but yet it is INCREDIBLY fast. The slight hit in processor and memory compared to a MacBook Pro is at least partly made up for by the speed of solid state memory. Just check out the boot up time on this device. It boots up fast. Plus, when it sleeps, open it back up, for instant on. It’s a new way of experiencing a computer.
This 13-inch model has a higher resolution display than the 13-inch MacBook Pro, so you will fit more of your windows, pictures, etc. on the display. Indeed, it matches the resolution of the stock 15-inch models. The display looks gorgeous too. It is a glossy display, but if you compare it to a Mac Book Pro, you will find it’s a bit less reflective since it does not have the glass over the display. I like this!
What don’t you get on this model and do I miss it? Obviously, once again, Superdrive is missing. I do not miss this. I have Superdrive on my desktop computer, and you can always buy the USB Superdrive for less than one hundred dollars, if you want that capability when at your desk. This Air loses the backlit keyboard, one suspects due to the even slimmer and lighter design. However, I type efficiently, so I only lose the cool factor of illuminated keys, not function.
Truly, with the add on of the USB superdrive for pinch situations, this particular model is a Mac that could actually be one’s main computer. Decent processing speed, decent memory, and most of all plenty of solid state storage and the speed benefits of that storage. The graphics processor in this release is much improved over the previous generation too enabling watching of high definition videos. Two USB ports allow for connecting your iPod, external USB hard drive, USB Superdrive, printer, or whatever other USB device you might have. SD Card slot is included on this 13-inch Air model for the first time too.
Note – The brand new iLife ’11 is loaded on this machine too. It’s fun to try out the new features of iLife on a brand new computer! iPhoto 11 enhanced full screen mode is fun to use with this high resolution display!
Why four stars? I simply have hard time giving any computer a perfect rating. I think highly of it, but the Air did already exist. It’s a big improvement on it. I also believe Air will see a lot of future development in the line as Apple has hinted it is the direction of all future MacBooks.
A graphic designer, developer, or engineer might need more horse power or a larger display. However, a 2.9 pound Mac that is fully capable of being a great second Mac, or primary Mac, for many users is an incredible achievement. Do not let the significance…

|A great performer, super portable, a pleasure to use,
I purchased the 13″ MBA a few weeks ago. It’s my first Mac.
There are lots of cool things about the new Macbook Airs. But what stands out most to me is the performance gain from an SSD instead of a spinning magnetic hard drive. It boots up from cold to ready in under 10 seconds. Seriously. It shuts down in about 4-5 seconds. Of course, you don’t need to shut it down and boot it up from cold every time – just shut the lid and it goes to sleep in 1 second. Open it later and it wakes up just as you left it – in about 1 second. Really. Windows laptops have this same feature, but in my experience it doesn’t wake up about 1/4 of the time, so I stopped using it. But it works perfectly on the Mac.
Reading from and writing to the SSD is very fast, whether you’re installing programs or loading files. The difference is striking compared to my Dell XPS laptop, which has a 7200rpm hard drive and Core 2 duo processor with a higher rated speed.
Now that I have a laptop with an SSD as the main drive, I will never go back to one using a spinning hard drive – it’s yesterday’s technology and just doesn’t perform well, compared to this. Of course, part of the performance gain could well be due to the Mac OS X. OS X seems more stable and refined than Windows 7 (and I like Windows 7, though I’d like anything after the disaster that was Windows Vista).
The Air’s integrated NVIDIA 320 graphics handles all my needs very well, though I am not a graphics-intensive gamer or video editor, just an average user.
Battery life is really exceptional. At this moment, I’ve been running my MBA 5 or 6 hours since the last charge, and the battery meter still shows 44% remaining. Since I bought it, I have gotten at least the rated 7 hours of battery life every time. This, too, is due at least in part to the SSD. Regular hard drives use a lot of juice – they have motors that physically spin a magnetic platter 5400 or 7200 revolutions per minute. With SSD, there’s no spinning disk and no motor, hence longer battery life.
The MBA runs cool most of the time. After I use it for a few hours at a time, the bottom gets SLIGHTLY warm. This is a huge improvement over EVERY OTHER LAPTOP I’ve ever owned or used, which get VERY WARM or even HOT.
I’ve only heard the fan come on ONCE – the first day, when I was installing MS Office using an external DVD/CD drive. Other than that, my MBA has been completely silent and cool.
Once I complete my transition from Windows to Mac, this MBA will be my main home computer. For average users like me, it’s plenty powerful enough. At home, I have it plugged into an external monitor (which requires a $20 adapter), an external mouse, plus I have an external USB drive for backups and an Apple Super Drive (external DVD/CD). I slightly regret buying the Super Drive; Amazon sells Samsung drives that perform better and cost about $30 less.
The everyday experience of using the 13″ MBA is like that of using a regular Macbook, Macbook Pro, or other “serious” laptop. What I mean is, when you’re using it, it LOOKS and FEELS like using a “serious” laptop, not a laptop that makes compromises to achieve ultra portability. But when you take it with you somewhere, THAT’S when you notice how wafer-thin and feather-light it is.
And for something so remarkably thin, it feels very sturdy. Build quality is excellent.
I read a lot of other reviews by long-time MB users, many of whom are disappointed that the MBA doesn’t have the backlit keyboard that Macbooks have. I’ve never had that feature on a laptop, so I don’t miss it. But for people who do, you can get an LED lamp on an adjustable arm that plugs into the USB port – not a very elegant solution, but functional and inexpensive – Amazon has some good ones pretty cheap.
This is probably not a huge factor in your decision, but you might be interested in knowing the sound quality coming from the headphone jack is excellent. I did an A/B comparison between my MBA, my Dell XPS, and the Lenovo ThinkPad I use at work. I used high-end headphones to listen to a track encoded in iTunes at 320 bps on all 3 machines. The sound quality from the MBA’s headphone jack was great, as good as my iPod touch, and way better than the Dell or Lenovo.
On the other hand, tiny speakers built into the MBA are no better than the average laptop speakers.
If you’re thinking about buying this, I have a few suggestions.
First, go to a store and see one in person. Play around with it.
Second, make sure you know all the options available at time of order. The 11 and 13 inch MBAs can be ordered with upgrades (bigger SSD, faster processor, more RAM). But, once you buy a MBA, you may not be able to upgrade these components later. (Apple says you cannot. Some user forums say you can. I’d rather not take my chances.) So, you…

|Ok little netbook,
I bought this netbook here on Amazon for $240. When it arrived today I saw a wal-mart sticker on the box and that looked weird, so I looked at the outer packaging again and on that box was a walmart price sticker for $198. So I feel a little ripped off by that.
It’s a fine netbook. I bought it for my 9 year old daughter. It’s pretty kid friendly.
I had to uninstall what seemed like a whole boatload of pre-installed crap programs and free trials. But once I got all of that off of it, it worked pretty good.
It works great for skype. The webcam and microphone are pretty clear.
Although I would have rather only paid $198, I don’t feel bad paying $240.
