I'm looking for a cheap used laptop. I want to throw Ubuntu 7.10 on there and just use it as a portable web browser mostly. But I want it to be able to run Flash ok.
So I'm looking for something like a Pentium M, Celeron M, Turion or above, with at least 512 MB of RAM, a 40 GB hdd, a CD- or DVD-ROM drive, and 802.11g wireless. USB 2.0 and an ATi or nVidia video processor would be a plus.
I'm looking to spend hopefully $250 or less. Most of the used laptops I see on eBay are going for around $300-$500, but a lot of them are a little more modern than I need.
If anyone has something like this in theirs or a friend or familiy member's house collecting dust they might be willing to sell, I'm all ears. Otherwise, does anyone know where a good place to find what I'm looking for might be? Online shops selling used laptops are selling them priced much higher than eBay. I found what might be good deals on Craigslist, but I just don't trust Craigslist at all.
