Topic: Looking for new laptop

[Marcin541]

Hello, I am looking for a new laptop for work purposes. I am trying to get it as cheap as possible. The requirements are, any processor, 512 ram, 40 or more GB of space. I also need a wireless network card. Does anyone know where I can get a really cheap laptop with those specifications, or something similar?

$399 laptop is pretty easy to find..  However, unless you do a custom build with dell, and maybe hp, you are going to get stuck with Vista.  If you want Xp you are either going to have to hit up ebay, which isnt a bad thing, oe find a copy some other way.

dell retooled boxes have gone to many of my low requirement friends in the past and i have had no problems.

and most are still xp
