The main problem with ultra-cheap laptops in bad condition is that restoring them will cost a lot more than buying a good example. BTW. the laptop is a Dell XPS, which were considered high-end and were pretty expensive back in the day. And Centrino was a marketing name used by Intel, used for laptops that had an Intel Core Duo CPU and an Intel WiFi card. Centrino 2 was similar, but with a 64 bit Core 2 Duo CPU.

I never thought I’d ever see someone get a laptop/computer for a $1. I wonder what happened to it to make it look like that

id restore it
