Mine is Dell Inspiron 2500. It was a very good deal for $1300 (tax and shipping included.) It comes with Pentium III @ 900Mhz and Windows 2000. I had a hard time finding cheap laptops with Pentium processors and Windows 2000.

The downsize was the monitor. It is a 12-inch monitor and only supports 800x600 resolution. It is OK for that I use it, but you may want to keep that in mind.

Also, keep in mind whether you want it as a second computer or a desktop replacement. Prices vary a lot depending on this.
