[question] low-cost laptop for leopard

[bamdad]

hi all,

 

my msi wind died a few weeks ago, and since then i'm using my old, beat-up ibook as my main computer. i'll eventually get a new one after the holidays (probably a refurbished unibody macbook), but i need an older, cheap, throw-around laptop.

 

i've been using osx86 since the deadmoo image, so i'm no noob, but my experience is with desktops, not portables. thus, i'm asking for advice: what would be the best laptop (preferably subnotebook) for my needs? i'm looking for few years old business-class machines, like HP, IBM, Dell etc., with core duo, centrino or pentium M processors.

 

thanks in advance,

bamdad
