looking to buy a cheap laptop

[Jerry Feldman]

Look for computer shows. The next KGP show is in Marlborough June 22. 
Another possibility is to check online for refurbished computers. I bought 
2 refurbished Compaq Presarios and have had no problems with them. I have 
used one at the installfests, to teach classes once a week. I've had it for 
a couple of years. The only problem I had was that the CD/DVD went offline. 
I took the unit apart, reseated the cables and everything works 100%.

You are probably safer buying a refurbished unit directly from a 
manufacturor like Compaq or Dell where you have some recourse.
