WTB - a cheap laptop

[REED]

so I've decided to retire the desktop and move into the 21st century.

I'm also moving and won't have room for my desk/chair so a lappy seems like the way to go.

I probably use my desktop once a week to sync my iPhone, pay some bills, and uhhh other stuff I can't do on my work laptop.

Any reason something like this wouldn't work. for $350 - minus some GC money that seems solid, unless someone has something else that works for less.

your link don't work. i'd likely buy something new and cheap rather than used and cheap [that used to be expensive].

hmm damnit - well here is the overview - for $350 I can't imagine there are many cheaper laptops out there
