They are almost indestructable, good and cheap <$300. They have taken it with them on trans pacific flights, sleepovers, all over the house, spilled milk on it, dropped it, ate over it and generally treated it like 9 & 11 YO boys would. and it still works.
Compare that to what you could buy new for around that price.

ThinkPad. Good machine.
Deal on a Lenovo Netbook, (bought the IBM line) $270 with free shipping. With 6 cell battery, good option.
