Just a quick glance at TigerDirect didn't show any laptops for less than
$200. Which seems a bit high to me.
When I was laid off by So_ny, I bought my laptop (a used So_ny VAIO x505
with 384Mb mem and 12GB of disk) from them for $125. It runs Ubuntu just
fine. So, I definitely think we can find something for around that price
that would be good enough.
My computer at work (before the memory crapped out) was a Dell desktop
with 512Mb memory and 40GB of disk and also ran Ubuntu just fine.
(My opinion is that 512Mb is good for Ubuntu. Anything below that, you
start having to give us various stuff (e.g., adblocking in Firefox).)
