So last week my laptop died on me. Motherboard took a dive, and unfortunately that was my “main machine”. I know it takes me quite some time to find and fix up a machine, and decided a quick interim machine needed to be built. So I hit craigslist. I quickly found that if I wanted to spend 4-500 dollars on a laptop I’d have plenty to choose from. Most have Turion processors, or are some cheap knockoff.
