Looked at that sort of thing for a while, but couldn't bring myself to jump in. With a laptop, repairs are often motherboard replacements. So I'd like for the company selling me it to still be in business next year.

I'd stay away from it, Cyrix are well known for its ability to substitute a stove.

Staples has an HP with a Pentium 1.6 for the same price. $899 with a $100. mir

you're really lost in time aren't you? Cyrix got chips that can run passively now albeit shite performance

shit performance, but it probably has pretty decent battery life. you'd pretty much have to ditch that lindows crap and put a real *nix OS on it
