Cheap laptop help!

[colinstu]

I'm looking to buy a $200-300 or less laptop. I don't care if it is a macintosh laptop or a pc one. I want it to have good battery life (1-2hrs +), it can chardge the battery (or it comes with a battery chardger), and a AC adaptor. I want to use this for school. I'm thinking of getting it from eBay. I will use this for wordprocessing, spreadsheet, internet, email, etc.

Here are some specs:
For mac:
powerpc (any speed)
G3 (any speed)
G4 (any speed)
64mb+ of RAM (32mb is ok, but i want 64+)
4gb+ harddrive
cd-rom/dvd (doesn't matter)
Mac OS 8.x, 9.x

for pc:
p4 (1.6ghz+)
celeron(2.4ghz+)
centino (?)
265mb+ of RAM (128 might be ok)
6gb+ harddrive
cd-rom/dvd (doesn't matter)
windows 2000, windows xp

internal speakers would be nice.
Here are ports that it has to have:10/100 LAN port (it has to have a keyboard, trackpad)

I can't find any laptops that I really like, so can somebody help me!!

Good luck finding something like that for 200-300 bucks... Your probably looking more in the 700-800 range... Check www.geeks.com they have good deals sometimes!

PIII 700MHz+
P4 1.6GHz+
Celeron 1GHz+
256mb+ ram (otherwise 192mb, 128mb)
Any cd/dvd drive
floppy drive would be nice
6gb+ harddrive
any sized LCD (color!)
w/ battery (holds chardge, 1hr+ time) and ac adaptor
no OS, win2000, xp, 98

ebay or a computer show would be your best bet.

[alanuofm]

i dont think you can get a laptop for under 700$ at best buy.

 

[blacksage]

you would have to go to ebay or a computer show or a local computer shop to buy a used or older model laptop.

Like everyone said... computer show or ebay. I would also like to suggest a bowing surplus store. I'm not sure if u have one where u like but i've herd they have cheap used laptops for sale.
