This 6 years old laptop belongs to a friend of mine.

 

 

Specs

 

Intel core 2 duo p8800 @ 2.6 Ghz ( 2 cores, no hyperthreads)

 

3 GB of ram

 

500GB of hard disk;

 

GT 210M

 

Don't have the detailed specs now but I'm thinking of replacing the hard disk with an SSD. Not sure if it's worth the money.
