********************************************************* VERY NEAT EUROPEAN USED NOTEBOOKS ********************************************************* [size=20pt]HP ELITEBOOK 6930p[/size] PROCESSOR: Core2Duo P8400 @ 2.26GHZ GPU: Mobile Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 4550MHD) RAM: 2GB HARD DISK: 250GB SATA OS: Windows 7 Ultimate WEBCAM: NO FINGERPRINT: YES USB: x 3 WI-FI: YES BLUETOOTH: YES HDMI: NO FIREWIRE: YES (for NLE) SCREEN SIZE: 14.1" DISPLAY RESOLUTION: 1280 x 800 PRICE: N40, 000 QUANTITY: 40 (12 left) OPINION: We all know Core2Duo is an old processor, but not the type this baby is equipped with, capable of doing all that daily computer needs of yours from desktop publishing; CorelDrawing to watching movies even at 1080p despite not having an HDMI port to display Pro Evolution Soccer on that beautiful flatscreen of yours. Tsk! Yes I am saying this chocolate can run PES2009-2013 nicely at a decent resolution, and if you're the type who's just breaking into video editing, this is your best bet regarding that very tight budget of yours. [size=20pt]HP ELITEBOOK 8530p[/size] PROCESSOR: Core2Duo T9600 @ 2.80GHZ GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 RAM: 2GB HARD DISK: 250GB SATA OS: Windows 7 Ultimate WEBCAM: YES FINGERPRINT: YES USB: x 4 + 1 eSATA = 5 USBs WI-FI: YES BLUETOOTH: YES HDMI: YES FIREWIRE: YES (for NLE) SCREEN SIZE: 15.4" DISPLAY RESOLUTION: 1680 x 1050 PRICE: N42, 000 QUANTITY: 35 (7 left) OPINION: This contender to the EliteBook 6930p is in some respect better than some core i3s laptop irrespective of their power efficiency. At 15.4", spotting a resolution higher than that of my personal core i7 HP, this grizzly bear is ready to devour most task you throw at it. With its 5 USBs it's the ideal model for those who have reason to plug every available USB devices to their system from your printer, modem, bed scanner, wireless mouse, game pad, usb-to-phone cable charger etc [size=20pt]HP G62[/size] PROCESSOR: Core i3-350M HARD DISK: 320GB RAM: 2GB OS: Windows 7 PRICE: N43, 000 QTY IN STOCK: 2 left OPINION: Equipped with 2 Logical cores running @ 2.27GHZ this beauty is more than suitable for basic computer needs, it will run your usual Mircrosoft Office package with ease, while multitasking on other application such listening to your .mp3 musicals on Windows MediaPlayer. Given it's GPU technology it will run PC-games like Need4Speed, FEAR, DOOM-3 smoothly. [size=20pt]HP ELITEBOOK 8440p[/size] PROCESSOR: Core i5 520M @ 2.40GHZ GPU: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics RAM: 4GB HARD DISK: 750GB SATA OS: Windows 8 WEBCAM: YES with Keyboard lighter FINGERPRINT: YES USB: x 3 WI-FI: YES BLUETOOTH: YES HDMI: YES FIREWIRE: YES (for NLE) SCREEN SIZE: 14.0" DISPLAY RESOLUTION: 1366 x 768 PRICE: N53, 000 OPINION: Now this hog is what you want if your pocket money isn't enough to grab you that core i7 you've been so desirous of. This core-i5 equipped Elitebook from HP is packed with the hardware features more than an average Nigeria user requires, at N53K with a whooping 750GB SATA HD, coupled with a firewire and an HDMI port, well it's more than a bargain. [size=20pt]HP ELITEBOOK 8460p[/size] PROCESSOR: Core i5 520M @ 2.53GHZ GPU: Intel HD 3000 RAM: 4GB HARD DISK: 750GB SATA OS: Windows 8 WEBCAM: YES with Keyboard lighter FINGERPRINT: YES USB: x 4 WI-FI: YES BLUETOOTH: YES HDMI: YES FIREWIRE: YES (for NLE) SCREEN SIZE: 14.0" DISPLAY RESOLUTION: 1600 x 900 PRICE: N56, 000 OPINION: Okay, if the 8440p above isn't enough to slack your computer taste, then this beast is the highest core i5 we've got for you in store, at 1600 x 900 resolution driven by an Intel HD 3000, I bet it will run PC games that are quite nore demanding than F.E.A.R., Far Cry 2, I am talking of PC games such as Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Pro Evo Soccer 2013 (at full screen low res), Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Ghost Recon - Advance Warfighter 1 and 2, etc, and if these can run all those and more, why won't it render your 3D animation scenes/image in a timely manner?, moreover watching an high-def content on this laptop is more or less superb. Enough said, peeps are rushing these laptops, buy yours now while it last. CALL: [size=15pt]RICHARD[/size] ON [size=15pt]0813-727-3829[/size] image upload coming soon HERE |

Nathan2222: To the second comment, you're wrong Mhen! I rooted my Android mobile without voiding its manufacturer warranty. I still get OTA updates and it still reads the warranty code for me, date of purchase and other data. Reason : I rooted my phone without unlocking the bootloader. It's way better than the other method where you gotta unlock your bootloader. No security threats whatsoever. My data are intact. No phishing. :-) |

deejayharry1: Who should stop embarassing themselves? The guy who provided links to websites showing you the security risks of rooting your Android phone i.e. me? OR The guy who blabbed on about certain issues with avast! in relation to Windows and even foolishly went ahead to post photos of the display of his PC OS, and as if that wasn't enough, he also decided to make baseless assumptions on what kind of file the anti-virus deleted i.e. you. ------------------ avast! deleted an executable file (.exe) from my mom's Android, not a .bat, .tar, .sys, .ink and sure as hell not a .bin. Next time, read before you post and oh, stop embarassing yourself |

victorix: guy, this tread is a waste of time, ... so if the smart guy can extract a password from a rooted phone (let's go with your impossible logic) so , the smart guy can't root an Android phone ? if your phone is not rooted you see, your tread is so baseless. the best way of security is to encrypt your phone and also don't let smart guys like me handle it. now close this tread .! |

Collinz2: Really? Let's see: - I knew that Android, just like every other OS, is susceptible to malware. You didn't. - I knew that rooting your Android makes it more susceptible to malware, and in most cases, voids your warranty. You didn't. - I knew that a statement such as "all the links u provide dnt tell me how android can contact virus." is as silly as saying "I have no idea how viruses work" You didn't, and based on that statement means you have no idea what a virus really is. So if I know "nothing" like you said, you are literally an empty vessel. |

Duh?
False, false, false
Are you sure you know what a virus is? Are you seriously ignorant of the fact that viruses infect .exe files? and whts hell is windows file doing in ur mom's phone? I never said that. It was another poster that made silly comments relating to Windows. |

[s] victorix:[/s] CRAP CRAP CRAP A banker could get your phone details if you root your phone?? Cone do you think you're talking to your village people? How on earth does root access to system files concern an online banking app? Next, you used your friends phone and you got all his passwords. Wow. You're a genius. But you didn't tell us if he used a password saver that remembers his passwords or if you actually hacked yahoo mail for Android (then I'll call you a big liar) This story is for illiterates on nairaland that want to believe the cool story sha.

Nathan2222: Lol. So he checked his friend's yahoo mail password by hacking the guys phone? Nigga please. If you're talking whiz kids who can check system flaws and loops in nano seconds then quote me. That dude certainly didn't. Oh and by the way your article isn't related to what you just said about system apps. Being able to get root access to files doesn't make it all susceptible to sudden password hacks. Iphones that are even secure and not rooted get hacked all the time Rooting is just bootloader access so what's the big deal anyway. 2 Likes |

ebdib: I said he was being truthful about how rooting makes Android easier to hack.
Really? Being able to get root access to files doesn't make it all susceptible to sudden password hacks. The point is that it makes it more susceptible.
And yet some were claiming Android can't get infected. |

*Smh* is this something you should be scared of Even without rooting, Google can decide to get any info they want from your Android phone (but that's Google) . You should be scared of that. 1 Like |

Francheezy: And they don't already? Gmail, G+, YouTube etc. You should be scared of that. I'd think a multibillion dollar company would be more interested in hacking companies and/or competitor's products than one of their own, especially when they don't need to. |
