    Hi all,
    does anyone know about this € 110 off a new laptop in PC World (certain models) when you trade in an old laptop. Does the old lappie have to work ??
    Would be a good deal if it didn't.:)

    The laptop has to turn on and have a charger as far as I know!

    It's off any laptop not just certain models. The laptop has to turn on. Also it's up to €110 off. So if you have an ancient piece of crap that has a smashed screen and is held together with duct tape, I wouldn't get too hopeful for getting the full €110. :D

    So an old Toshiba running Windows 98 would be ok once it boots and runs (even slowly)?

    I've a dell inspiron 630m with 512 MB running xp slowly. Would that be ideal? :confused:

    Both should be ok. I'd doubt you'd get much for them though.

    Bump the RAM to 2gb and reinstall xp and it'll be as good as new! They'd probably give €40 for it otherwise.
