Hey guys I have a friend who is selling his 2 years old Lenovo N100 Laptop at Rs.10,000. The battery is in bad shape but all other condition is OK. Should I buy it at 10K? Is the Price fair?
If it's not then advice a Laptop/Netbook within 12-15K.

I am related with Stock market and it will be use for that purpose only. Need to have Wi-Fi, that's it.

Regards,
Saurav.

No, neeed of geeting that. Its just got 512mb RAM with 100gb HDD and also (as you are speaking) has a bad battery too.
So, without going for that, get ur slf a good netbook with 1gb RAM and 160gb HDD from brands like SAMSUNG, ACER,etc. The price starts from 14000. So, why not pay 4k more and get a new one with better facilities. These netbooks come with intel atom processor so will give u good backup too and are the best when it comes to Internet.
Go, for it.

acer aspire one D260
Samsung N150
HP Mini 210 -1084 TU
Asus 1001 HA

But I think it's better to wait for AMD E-350 based netbooks.

Much much better with even an on-die GPU. Better performance, less power consumption and more battery life. Netbooks can finally play games now which they could only dream of with Atom.

Ok, I will wait for AMD E-350 based Netbooks, but I can wait max one-two weeks, and my budget is strict at 15K, so anything more than that will be out of my mind :)
