Cheap and laptop don’t go together much.

But, if it is necessary, may I recommend researching the item before purchase.

what you want:
2.8ghz or more
2gb ram (preferably, but as low as 512mb will get the job done)
Well designed! Check where the fans are, don’t want it overheating
XP preferably, vista is very buggy, you can also try for windows 7
What I recommend:
Dells
HP
take a virtual tour of them, LOOK WHERE THE FANS ARE ; if they are on the ground, don’t even bother with the computer.

Hope that helps

I wish I had a toshiba, instead I got an HP. We just bought my 80 year old mom a toshiba for her birthday and it's very nice. It was under 500 and we got it at Bestbuy. We decided on the toshiba because they don't all come with dia lup modems and she has to have dial up. It is very nice.

Best Buy is the best place to buy laptops for a good price. Toshiba laptops are really nice. Here is a link to one of them. There are alot more that you can choose from. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9368169&st=toshiba&type=product&id=1218092959299
