Geeks.com has a continually-changing selection of refurbished notebook bargains, so if you act quickly you might be lucky enough to score Dell Latitude notebook for just $379.99:

This is a Pentium 4, 2.0GHz laptop PC with 256MB of RAM.   The hard drive is 20 GB, and it also has a CD-ROM drive and a floppy disk drive.  This is an older notebook model, and the CD-ROM drive and floppy drive share a bay, so you can’t use them both at the same time.   You just swap out one for the other, depending on which you need to use.   There are also two PCMCIA slots for expansion. 

Despite being an older model, this refurbished Dell Latitude has a large 14.1-inch TFT Display with 1024 x 768 maximum resolution.  Audio and video are integrated, and there are a pair of built-in speakers.  You control this inexpensive notebook computer with its keyboard and companion Track stick and Touchpad.  You can also add an external mouse if that feels more comfortable.

A refurbished laptop this cheap is bound to have a couple of drawbacks, and for this unit, its drawback is a lack of an operating system and drivers.  You’ll need to install your favourite operating system, and a driver for the CD-ROM drive, before you’ll be able to use it.  Another potential drawback is that the battery on this unti is not guaranteed to work, so depending on how lucky you are, you may need to buy a replacement battery.  If you just plan to use this notebook PC at home, you can run it off the included AC adapter and the battery won’t be an issue.

This refurbished Dell notebook is in-stock and ready to ship.
