Used Ultraportable Laptop

[bigal40]

I am looking for a laptop that I can take on travel with me that will just be used to check email, go on the internet, and run MS Office. I want something very small, 10in or less. I figure something with ~800mhz CPU and 128-256mb RAM. I wont really need much HD space but 20 gigs would be nice. Since I will be using it mainly in hotels with wireless internet I want a built in wireless card, 802.11b would probably be enough. Because I want to spend around $500 dollars I am looking for something used. Is $500 not enough to fufill my requirements? How much do you think it will cost? Any recommendations?

An old Toshiba Portege would get you down to the 11" screen size. Other than that, if you can somehow find a Compaq Evo N200, that would also do the trick.

I think the old Acer Tablets are 10 or 11 inches. C100 or C105. I have one at home that still runs like a champ with a 800 mhz P3 mobile and 256 megs of ram.
