Anyone got a spare laptop for sale?

[Billy]

A friend's laptop has died.

I'd give him one put together from the spares that i've got, but he needs it to be an i5 as a minimum spec, for the software he needs to run. I don't have a spare machine of that spec.

Any got one going spare?

Thank you to everyone who offered to help.

We've got a machine sorted out. :D

Hackspace helps out again. :D

Maybe no-one on this list had a secondhand laptop of that spec for sale?

I have one, but it's a Pentium. So I didn't bother making unnecessary noise by posting that.

I think you need to read Billy's post again. He found a solution with help from the list.

It needed the minimum spec because he wants to do video editing with it, but couldn't afford to replace his broken one with a new machine.

Another member emailed directly to me with the offer of a laptop that could do the job.

Two other folk also emailed me with offers, but we'd already said yes to the first one.

Again, thank you to everyone who offered to help. :D
