[O/T] Cheap laptops?

[Lonni J Friedman]

You didn't say what you intended to use the laptop for.  Anyway, I'd
personally never buy any Dell or MSI products, as they're both crap as
far as I'm concerned.

I recently bought an HP Mini 311, and its working quite nicely:

Its not a powerhouse, but if you're looking for something relatively
inexpensive, its definitely in that category.
