I bought a somewhat ancient P2 Compaq Armada for $40 around a week ago... my first laptop!
but seriously I've heard great things about Toshiba and that's probably what I'll go with when I buy a 'real' laptop (next year?).
I agree with wolf, be fussy about the screen, keyboard, size&weight, and type of 'mouse' (little joystick or pad, which do you prefer?).
