Behold the glory and majesty of my new refurbished discount laptop:
http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?page=proframe&prod_id=1862637
It's not cutting edge, but I don't really need it to be. I needed something for net access and typing, and this should do fine. It was one of the best deals I could find, everything else was too underpowered and too expensive for what you were buying.
i'm planning to run debian on it, it was a chore downloading 14 cds even with broadband.
Anyway, post your laptop specs and what you paid for it.
Mine:
* Display: 14-inch LCD (I would have liked bigger, but I couldn't afford it)
* Processor: 900MHz Pentium III
* System memory: 256MB (I plan to upgrade the memory eventually, but right now this will do fine.)
* Hard drive: 30GB
* Optical drive: DVD-ROM
* Network: 10/100
* Modem: 56K
* Operating system: Windows 98 (soon to be replaced with debian linux)
Price: $401 (I can't believe that they only charged me a dollar for shipping)
