I am considering Selling my gateway 400XL laptop (400SD4).

2.4ghz P4
512mb DDR
40gb HD
CDRW/DVD
Floppy drive
15inch monitor

Extras:
CDRW/DVD drive
Floppy Drive
Palmrest with touchpad
2 High Capacity batteries
2 AC adapters
Misc internal parts
old Motherboard.

I've had the laptop for a while, and it'* probably best termed a desktop replacement. Overall condition is good, but shows wear on the top from being set upside down a lot. It works perfect, and will be formatted before being sold. I replaced the motherboard about 4 months ago because the original was acting funny. I also cleaned the dust out of the inside while I had it opened. It is on the heavy side, coming in at 7.5 lbs. And I should have the original manuals/CDs which would come with it as well as a COA for XP Home. No OS will be loaded unless I find the Original CD'*, then XP home will be installed.

Oh, and the batteries will last for 2.5-4 hours, depending on the type of use. Watching a DVD will usually get you through the whole DVD.

Only issues:
Power plug is a little loose on the new motherboard. Still work fine to charge, and use, just have to get it into position first.
case has scratches.
runs warm like most laptops. Recommend a laptop cooler if using for more than a desktop replacement.

I am only considering selling because I have another laptop and do not use this one anymore. That being said, I'm in no hurry to sell it either. Wouls like to get around $450 for all, $380 for just laptop, battery and power supply. But am open to reasonable offers. Shipping extra.

I did look up the price of an internal wireless card for this, and one can be had for $15 on ebay, but that'* your choice.

this is a terrific deal I think. ebay has them going for the same price with half the ram and a smaller hard drive.

with a 7200 rpm hard drive for 80 bucks this would be a fast box.

Yea, that one is also a 2.0ghz where mine is a 2.4ghz. I was going to see if my roommate could fix the power adapter, but he just left for home for a week and a half. If I still have it then, then it might be fixed. If it doesn't sell, then I'll probably use it as my desktop computer...

i may be interested if you can get windows on there again

Does that have built in wireless?

No but he mentioned above that it could be had on ebay for 15 bucks

DOH! I missed that !

That'* it. Make Offer
