Cheap Laptop wanted
Hi peeps, I am on the lookout for a cheap laptop that I can use to run karaoke nights, I have over 10,000 mp3 karaoke files so it would need to be big enough to accomodate these, the programe to run them and also have a TV out socket to allow me to send the graphics to a portable TV, and also audio out to send to my mixing desk.
I do have a budget of around £125 ish, can anyone help/point me in the right direction? Cheers Pete |
Re: Cheap Laptop wanted
The words 'cheap' and 'laptop' are rarely found in the same sentence. Have you tried eBay?

Re: Cheap Laptop wanted
I wouldn't go near eBay for a laptop far to omany knackered old things being punted out as working
£125 is certainly pushing it for something with a hard disk big enough for 10K MP3s (based on 4meg apiece is 40 gig before you start with OS and everything else) TV out is also something that isn't likely to be in your pricerange as it will need a decent chipset in it |
Re: Cheap Laptop wanted

Oooh where's the other one? I only know one and the one that sells hardware like monitors and keyboards and stuff to compile your own creations. Or does he do whole computers as well? |
Re: Cheap Laptop wanted
A lot of the older Toshiba Satellite range had a phono socket on them that you could connect to a TV vis a scart lead.

Re: Cheap Laptop wanted
Up a side street near the old General PO in Blackburn there is/was a shop selling 2nd hand PCs and laptops. I saw some old Toshibas in there several weeks ago but then later it looked empty so I don't know if it is still an ongoing concern. They were very old models.

Re: Cheap Laptop wanted
better to buy an external harddrive for your music i have 40 thousand tracks on my external drive you are asking alot for your money i found with older pc they couldnt play the graphics and music quick enough

Re: Cheap Laptop wanted
I think the key is disk space, it was only recently that laptops got > 30 gig disks as standard. You 'could' use an external HD via USB but your asking for more aggro

Re: Cheap Laptop wanted
Why? What sort of problems could/would it cause? I'm planning on taking one on hols this summer so want to know what I'm likely to encounter.
