Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. We could use a new used laptop. Our old ones are so freaking slow, the kids refuse to use them. I hate using them too. And they both need to get on the computer to do homework now, so there is quarreling for the desktop.

I was looking at ebay factory refurbished/off lease Dells with Windows 7, and they seem to be going in the $250 range. The Latitude E6410 is catching my eye. It seems to have been a nice machine 2-3 years ago, and is still probably pretty good.

I was just looking up the value of my two old Dell Latitude D610 laptops, and they seem to be going on ebay in the range of $20 to $70, depending on condition. A lot of delusional people not selling them for $150 or so. That's for an 8 year old laptop. Maybe I should sell some of this old stuff when I get a newer laptop. I also have an old desktop.
