The listing, 15" HP Laptop has ended.
Very good condition laptop. Will guarantee it runs perfectly, although it dose not have long battery life due to the P4 CPU used in it. Currently have it loaded with Puppy Linux. Boots in @20 seconds and has access to all the free software one could ever need. Very easy to use GUI. BUT, if you prefer Microsoft these were made for XP and come with the COA on the bottom of the PC. Linux is much faster and versatile though.

This model dose have built in wireless, and can still use PCMCIA cards. The battery life was never great on these and they only got 45 minutes or so even when the computer was new.
i don't know anything about linux, does it operate like windows as far as getting online and surfing and such? does it come with a charger? can you use it with it plugged in for any length of time?
It is a graphical user interface like MAC OS X. Very easy to use with video instructions posted on the MacPup web page that walk you though all the basics.
It could if you added more RAM to it, but I wouldn't suggest it. Windows 7 is a much larger OS than this was meant for. It was made for Windows XP and comes with the XP COA. While it can still run XP, MacPup is much faster.
