Used beaters, and not cutting edge, but the prices are getting amazing!
Speaking of used laptops. My 6+ years old Compaq laptop stopped booting
recently. After doing the usual perambulations and sacrifices, and it
still not working, I yanked the hard drive and slapped that in a nice
little USB case to carry about with me.
So, I'm in the market for an inexpensive laptop that works, and that
would mostly work with Linux or FreeBSD.--If the crappy winmodem won't
work, I won't care, so long as the hardware is still functional and it
has working ethernet or PCCARD slot for my ethernet card.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of good sources for working, used laptops.
I've had good luck with eBay. I picked up an old Thinkpad there a few
years back for about $180, and it still works well today.
