See if your town has a 'Thrifty Nickel' kind of free newspaper.  They usually have listings for used computers and accessories.  I bought an older IBM computer with Win98 and a decent monitor for $90 from a man who bought a bunch of computers from a local college.  If you can live without XP, you might do better.  You can still access the Internet and do word processing on older operating systems.\n\nIf you want to buy new, try a place like Office Depot for EMachines desktop PCs.  They've been offering some really good rebates lately.  When we get our rebates back, our new computer with XP, monitor and Canon printer will only cost $300.

You can find what you want on E-Bay.  I don't know how fast you want it but E-Bay will have it.\n\nI got a 650 mhz IBM Lenovo for less than $200 and it serves me well.

There is a utility available on http://cnet.com where you can browse thru the available options as per your requirement.  The path is as follow:\nhttp://exactchoice.cnet.com/Type.aspx\nFor quick reference, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD and Windows XP SP2 should be fine for Home use.  Can buy any Acer, Dell, HP laptop.  They will be cheap and durable.

Type used laptops into google and check out few of the websites that come up.  If you want new, type cheap laptops into google and check out the first few that come up.\n\nThe best brands are IBM and Toshiba, while Dell and HP also make a reputable product.  Decide what features you want and know figure out your budget.  If it is cheap and does not do what you want you might not be happy.  If you only need word processing, e-mail, chat and browsing the web and don't care about the battery then you can buy a decent refurbished laptop for $200 to $300.

Dell sells some that are pretty good.\nhttp://www.dell.com\n\nAlso, check out the old thinkpads on Ebay. I almost bought one of those because they are good machines, and go for about $250-300. \nhttp://www.ebay.com\n\nFinally, TigerDirect sells some. I've never heard any complaints about them.\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com

Here, this is probably what you are looking for. Try the B120 or B130, they are your best bet, very basic laptops.

Check local thrift stores and consignment shops.\nTalk with those who deal in electronics.  I've discovered many useful computer systems (Gateway 2000s', PowerMacs) for around $20-$50 each.  Even bought a few.  They work great with old software from ebay with the kids' ages you have.

To get a computer that costs less than $200, I think you would have to by a desktop computer.  The laptop is always more expensive, and I know that you were asking about a laptop in your earlier question.  \n\nUse the same stores I mentioned in the other question, and good luck!

Right now there is a great deal on a laptop that is good for basic home use. It is an HP and you can get it for $299.99 after a hundred dollar mail in rebate. There are some restrictions but I will definitely be getting one... It is such a steal! Check out all the details at the links below...\n\nhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/circuit-city-to-sell-100-compaq-laptop-on-black-friday/\nhttp://techdirt.com/articles/20061115/164759.shtml\nhttp://news.com.com/Notebooks+dropping+to+99+levels/2100-1041_3-6135370.html\nhttp://bfads.net/pop/3772\n\nOh ya you can actually get the notebook for $99.99 but you have to jump through a lot of hoops and it will probably will end up costing you more in the end...\n\nGood Luck!

The cheapest laptop is the one that has deal on it...\ncheck out fatwallet.com or dealsea.com\nfrom time to time, there are deals on laptop.\n\nDell has the most deal, and the quality is decent.\npersonally, I use IBM since it is more reliable.\nRecently, IBM has a lot of promotion too.\nThus you can have IBM for quite reasonable price.
