I am looking to buy a decent spec laptop with a serial port. Current preferred model would be an HP nc8430:

High res WSXGA+ screen (1680x1050) or similar essential

RAM as follows:
512Mb or 1Gb in 1 DIMM
1.5Gb or 2Gb in 2 DIMMS

DVD burner a plus but not required

Core Duo or Core 2 Duo also a plus, but not required (I will swap out a low spec processor)

Bluetooth highly desired

Extended service warranty also a plus

Please state whether you have recovery CDS and/or Office 2003 CDs with it

I might also take an NC6320 or anything of a similar spec but IT ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE A SERIAL PORT

I have bought a fair amount of stuff here in the forums and have 100% feedback under jw2k_fr on eBay. REASONABLE prices for this kind of thing on eBay are $600 to $850 depending on spec.

Please let me know what you have and when it would be available
Thanks

James

Hi, yes indeed. Programming AMX, Crestron and Lutron. USB Serial dongles can work fine but there is no substitute for a built-in serial port. Thanks for the bump :cool:
