Where are you getting $55 dollar laptops, dad? Or is it 10 years old?
Well, Son, it is actually a $10 Laptop!
I felt kinda embarrassed to put $10, so I put down what I just paid for another just like it this morning.
Yeah, they're older laptops, I don't game at all or Multi-task much, so for what I need ~1.5-2 Ghz. w/ 2 Gigs RAM suits me. Runs XP, Firefox, PhotoShop, etc. just fine.
Currently using an old HP/Compaq nc6220 I pieced together. Had another one with a bad MoBo given to me, bought a complete base, MoBo, etc. on eBay for $10 shipped!
Put my LCD on it, swapped the Hard Drive & RAM, still using it.
Been using nc6000s for the past 5 years, most all bought here on FS/FT, mostly from one trader, give anywhere from $40-$80 each for them (I have 5!), but I got this nc6220 a few months back & been using it since I fixed it.
