Used thinkpad T-anything. you can't go wrong. They are dirty cheap. the old models have 100% compatibility with linux (the new ones do not! my new t410 requires a binary blob for wifi, and the E425 is still with a handicaped video card driver). They are build like a tank and companies sell units that sited on a desk it's whole life. and DO NOT get the thinkpad "edge" series. i made the huge mistake of buying online. It seemed like the same specs as the regular thinkpads. But when it arrived, well, it's just like a regular cheap laptop. in no way related to the IBM thinkpads. even the arm rest area is a joke, it cuts trhu your skin, let alone talks about comfort...
