he wants XP too..

what are some good cheap models?

i want it to be new...

thanks guys

 

i havent posted here in a while but i would get a DELL!

 

get an IBM thinkpad t-series...(titanium alloy case)you can find then on ebay new in the box for like 800 (a p3 800 mHz t-21/22). Mine has DVD, 14.1 inch tft display, 20 gig hd, ethernet, keyboard illuminator, etc. Very thin and light. XP works great on em. Bulletproof. I've owned Dell's..plastic flimsy cases, and not too reliable.

 

how bout my bro's sony vaio? it's still up for sale, send him an email and see if he can drop the price.
