Up for grabs is my current laptop, as I'm looking to upgrade before I graduate. I purchased this laptop early in 2008 and have been pleased with it. I've not tested Linux, so no comment on compatibility, but it runs Vista and Windows 7 smoothly.

Cosmetically, there's a few scratches on the glossy lid and the main handrest has some mild wear on it. Otherwise, still in decent cosmetic shape.

Internally, the ExpressCard port is non-functional (though there are very little EC accessories). The LCD was replaced under warranty earlier this year, though I've had no problems since.

If you're curious about the specifications:

LG E300 CPB1A9 (13.3")
Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 (1.66GHz)
2GB DDR2-667 Dual-Channel (2x1GB), Expandable up to 4GB
ATI Radeon X1250 IGP (128-512MB Framebuffer) with VGA and HDMI out, 1280x800 LCD
160GB 5400RPM SATA HDD
24X DVD-RW (Changeable with a blank to save weight and power, included)
Marvell PCIe Gigabit Ethernet, Atheros AR5007EG MiniPCIe WLAN, IVT Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
SD(HC)/xD/MS Reader
6-Cell Battery, ~2 hour battery life

I'm asking $800, but offers will be considered.
