hi i was wondering if anyone knew where or what computer i could get with my specifications, i wanna start out by saying that i want a laptop just to use with my band, to run a music program that i use to patch my midi keyboard through, and all i want is a really really cheap laptop with maybe 5 gigs tops of space, just enough to put the program on it. these are the specifications for the program

# Intel Pentium III 600 MHz or better
# G4 or G5 processor (if its a mac)
# 256 MB RAM
# 2 GB free hard disk space
# CD-ROM drive
# Windows XP/2000 or later
# Monitor with 800x600 pixels resolution or better
# 16-bit windows compatible audio card, preferably with DirectX or ASIO drivers
and i want a usb port to connect my midi keyboard,

i understand this is pretty weird but if anyone could help id appriciate it, thanks

Try ebay if you haven't already. There is a kewl, Panasonic tough book out there. They are great if you are going to take it out and about. It exceeds your requirements and has a magnesium case to protect it from most falls
 
ya if those are ur only requirements u can get an old laptop off ebay for really cheap. just be carefull of who u buy from
 
usedlaptops.com

usedlaptops.com is a great place as far as customer care, but I haven't checked there prices lately. Take a look at them. I don't know what your spending limit is but just look online.
 
you probably wont find a cheap G4, and there are no G5 laptops

An early G4 power book or perhaps a newer G4 ibook may be in the 500 range.


Ebay is a great source for cheap laptops.
