The battery is, to use the technical term, "boned" so there's no point even including it. You unplug it with the battery in and it switches off instantly.

It will be delivered with a wiped hard drive so you can install whatever on it. I have tried to install Windows on it and failed, whether that's a fault with my own ineptitude, the disc or the laptop is your risk to take. It runs Ubuntu beautifully, however (Compiz and all). Has a license for Windows Vista Home Basic on the bottom.

Chuck in an extra 2BTC and I'll install Ubuntu and sort out the drivers for you. Yes, I know it has Ubuntu running in the picture but I plan to wipe it before posting.

Postage to UK included in the price. Can't be bothered to send it overseas. I'm located in Medway so could reasonably drive over to deliver it around some parts of Kent and London.

No carry case, box, instructions or anything else included. Just the laptop and the charger.

Since I'm new to the community I can't prove my reliability but feel free to use ClearCoin. For anyone who can't somehow prove that they have a positive reputation I'll be wanting a charity escrow. You could also just send the BTC to me directly.

Reply to this thread if you're interested. Price is 25BTC or nearest offer. I reserve the right to change the price depending on the market.
