I'm no computer whiz geek when it comes to laptops and I'm in the market.
So what's cheap and and reasonable for a boat computer.
Must be able to play movies, run nav software, have wi-fi and long battery
life!
Help!
Thanks
Gordon

Yes, check out eBay for Dell and IBM laptops. I bought a Dell CPx which is
a 750MHz machine for about $200. For Dell computers there are lots of bits
and pieces you can buy to upgrade the base unit; CD and DVD players/writers,
hard drives, memory chips and docking stations. I also bought a Lind 12volt
adaptor on eBay that is made specifically for Dell. No trouble running the
laptop from 12 volts.
