Re: More Laptops/netbooks
What do you call cheap?
I think $1000 is a reasonable price for a MacBook Pro, but that probably wouldn't be considered cheap.
Are you looking for something that comes with a Windows license?
It looks like the classmates are about $400. You can probably get something better for the same price (preferably with a CD drive). I would check newegg.com

One thing that slows down computers is installing lots of software. If you want to use a cheap computer for programming, don't install CAD software on it too. There are also system settings which can affect the computer performance.
