Oceanboy has just posted a thread looking for a lappy.

Thank you guys, i had not seen this

Seymour, can i ask how new it is and the screen size?
The only reason is, the Battery is my only and main concern
(The Mrs already has 2 laptops with stuffed batteries, hence this search now)

I googled the model and there seem to be many variants so i'm a bit confused.

Thanks

Hi Oceanboy,
Your right, many many models.
Originally sold by Office works.
This one is about 2.5 plus years old, but less than 3 - I've had it since new and it's been on a cradle all it's life so too be honest I've never experienced how long the battery will last.
Measured corner to corner it's a 15" screen with NO dead pixels
It's sitting on my work bench at the moment so i'll have it do some work and try and 'guesstimate' what battery life might be possible.
The only reason I'm selling is the bloody cradle failed and I can't find a replacement

Again, too be honest, I've pulled out the 500Gb SATA mechanical drive (well used it was) and replaced with a brand new 250Gb Toshiba SSD (THNSNH256GMCT) - hence the speed
The SSD still has 2 full year warranty through my corporate supplier, so if it died within that schedule you would have to return to me - needless to say I would replace immediately and then claim through my corporate supplier (we buy these things by the carton so we always have a few in stock).

I don't think there is much more I can tell you.
It's in bloody good condition, considering it's age, and because of the SSD it's bloody fast.
As I indicated fully activated suites of Windows 10 Pro and Microsoft Office 2013 have been installed and activated and ISO images of both would be left in the DL directory.

In the time that I've been writing the response I've had that laptop running a fairly complex algorithm and the battery monitor advises that it has 9hr 55 mins of remaining charge available
I have to be honest, I don't believe it.
10 hours is the original factory claim, I would be comfortable saying you will probably get 4 hours plus.

Cheers

Hi all,
Just a quick update,
I posted last at 7.08pm, I guess I switched the laptop to battery power at about 6.45pm
It's now 9.45pm so three hours have past (still running the same equation) and Windows 10 advises there is 83% remaining (about 4hrs at current usage rate)
So it looks like with a medium work load this laptop might achieve about 7 hours battery time.

Thanks mate, i'm passing this info to the Mrs
Its just a matter of if she wants one today, as each day her mind changes

Sounds like a good jigger anyway.

So if anyone else is interested, pls jump in.

**ol' boy** · 31-03-17, 12:15 PM

Seymour, i'll speak to the Mrs after work tonight and make a call.
If its yes, i'll drive up over the weekend if you are about.
Thanks

**Seymour Butts** · 31-03-17, 04:36 PM

Not a problem mate.
If you're going to pick up lets just call it $350.
I'm sort of in and out all weekend, this weekend - My wife has a dance competition this weekend and I've been ordered to help out.
I'll PM my mobile, text me and I'm sure we'll be able to sort something out
cheers

Norty Oceanboy!

Hey Seymour
I spoke to the Mrs, and she is really after a small light laptop/netbook type thing (13" etc)
I did explain how good this is, but i guess it is form factor she is after
She already has a 15" lappy of about the same size as yours with the stuffed battery she already doesn't use.

So i'll have to pass
I was tempted myself, but i have enough toys.
Would have been nice to see you anyway.

Yes, PM's are full, stops people sending them

Sorry if this stuffed you around, i'm sure it will sell quick.
