Re: More Laptops/netbooks
Ebay, Ebay, Ebay.

Look for Dell Laptops coming back off corporate lease. $200-$225 for a 1.8 ghz intel with half a gigabyte of ram. I've bought 4 for various reasons (watching movies on my boat, etc). They're cheap, durable, and best of all parts can be had off ebay for next to nothing.

For example:

Here is a higher end one:

Here is a mid-range-price one:

Here is a low end one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/LAPTOP-1-DELL-LA...item3cb1738bcd

All three will run labview with ease.
