Default SOLD: Toshiba A60 Laptop - $300

I am selling a used Toshiba A60 laptop. I am looking for $300.

The laptop has two known issues.The first is that it sometimes overheats and shuts down when you push the CPU too hard, for too long (i.e. running the cpu at maximum capacity for 30m-1h). Also, sometimes when you shut the lid and open it again, the screen stays off and you need to reboot to get it back again. I don't know much about laptops so there may be simple solutions for these things, but I am selling as is (you can certainly try it before buying it).

This has been a good laptop for me and the only reason I am selling is I got an early Christmas gift (a new laptop).

I live in Prospect but can meet a potential buyer in Halifax. As for trade items, I would be interested in a 4000+ cpu, or a mid range video card (e.g. x1950 pro) plus some money.

The computer shutting off after you close the screen is a software configuration. you can change that in the control panel.

This is a great deal though for anyone in need of a laptop.

It is about 1.5 years old, and the warrenty was only a year. I have no idea how it would perform against your other laptop but this laptop is fast and stable. It will come with the restore DVD and the manual
