Hmm?

Budget is about 200 to 300 maxed.

Is it too low for a pentium I or II laptop?

There's quite a few auctions at Yahoo selling these PII laptops at S$200-300. They have the basic functions of watching VCDs (not DVDs) and Office application. You may want to try yr luck there. Wink

I just got a deal at yahoo for 200 bucks, a normal pentium 400 with CD rom support..

Great!!! Now you're just left to ponder if you can even load pdfs with the given specs. Laughing

PDF application should be ok for her as long as there's 256MB of memory in her laptop. Very Happy
