can anyone advise?
i'm considering buying a used laptop i've seen a tiny which fit my needs but has not got drivers on it.I intend to use it with win xp will getting the drivers cause problems and what about parts - are tinyspares available without going through tiny?
any comments would be helpful
thanks
What model?
Parts for any laptop are often specific (though many like drives aren't - just laptop specific rather than pc) ... if you can't see it going I'd be dubious regardless of 'tiny' or any other brand ... ;) ... but we can 'do' drivers if as Noo says you tell us what model ....
Oh & edit ... Welcome to WD :) ... as its your first post & all ...
the model is the a440
I wondered about spares as years ago had a packard bell desktop that I could not upgrade as parts were specific to that make -motherboard etc and wondered if it was like that wqith laptops? or are some a better bet than others for compatability?
thanks

From the sounds of your post you expect to be able to upgrade a laptop in the same way you would a desktop? If so, sorry it doesn't work that way. Upgrades are confined to ram, longer life battery, add ins for the bays, larger hard drives and sometimes the video card....but only on expensive models.
hi noo noo
that sounds like the one....but missed i! tpushed the bid button too slow
still plenty more were that was...
i need the graphics driver for the a440 tiny notebook if pos please...

I thot the Tiny company was kaput! No more. Gone. Folded. In the Never-Never. Passe'. History. Extinct. Deceased. etc
Why buy something with little or no support available?
I have a driver cd for the Celeron 600Mhz model if this would help? Will send a copy to anyone who needs it, mail me through here. Mike. :thumbs:
