Cheap Laptops
I am looking for some cheap laptops.
Could you please suggest some that are $50 or under?
(Ebay is good, they don't have to be new.)

There's no way you can get a laptop THAT cheap! $150 won't even get you a decent one!
I don't care if they barely work!

Seriously - you can't even get a second hand netbook for that price. Sorry, but any type of computer under £100 barely works, let alone $100 and worse still, $50.
I might return for a little while.

They don't need to work.

Re: Cheap Laptops
Did PW132 inspire you to make a supercomputer with a bunch of normal computers?

Re: Cheap Laptops
I was about to tell you that $50 won't get you anything remotely modern or working, but you have already been told that, and don't care.
Look on Ebay. You can probably find a working Pentium I or II computer for $50 on there.

Re: Cheap Laptops
$250 here and you get a new netbook with 10" display and Intel Atom processor with 1GB of RAM.
Early pentium processor, 512MB of RAM and not much graphics is the most you're likely to get even on ebay.
You may get something slightly better if you get a desktop...
At least disk space is cheap these days so you can get a premium 1TB HDD for under $100 
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!
