May 2011 -- $220 Notebook solution
Refurbishment of off-lease computer equipment seems to offer the best deal.
The latest deal, a HP business class notebook 6910p is listed for $220. Consumer reports says don't buy used electronics but the deal is too good to pass, and the refurbished product look and feel like new without documentations.
Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz - it's has a benchmark rating of 1200. It's faster than the $350 new notebooks which has typical benchmark rating of 900. Most of business class notebooks seems to do better than those design for home use.
2GB RAM - it's not enough for Windows 7, but good enough for XP
80GB hard drive - it's business class. It's not for someone want a multimedia music/video storage machine.
Docking stations - power supply and keyboard/mouse set.
