[WTB] Inexpensive Laptop

[Der Alta]

I'm wanting a personal laptop for the house to do some basic surfing and typing on.

No particular specs, other than priced in the $100-$300 range. Windows XP required, though.

Age/weight/features aren't determinate.

Basically, a laptop to do typing on.

Or if someone can point me online (Not Ebay), that's just as well.

Did you look around on craigslist? That's usually a good place to get started.

boston.craigslist.org

What are eeePCs priced over there? Personally I hate them, but for something simple to just type and use the web, they do their job.

Get a typewriter

Seriously, though, the EEE looks great. But they're more expensive than I thought they would be... I've seen $400--600...

I agree with Craigslist as well. You can find spectacular deals from people who just don't want to both setting up auctions. I myself am trying to buy a decidedly non-basic laptop from a gentleman on Craigslist for only a $130 over your budget.
